And here's a new resource for you - this is a free webinar hosted by Ed
Week. Here is their announcement: 

E-Learning's Role When the Flu or Other Emergencies Strike
Thursday, Oct. 8, 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Eastern time 

Concerns about the H1N1 flu virus causing school closings or significant
absences are pushing schools to use technology more heavily in their
day-to-day activities and prompting them to look at creative ways of
ensuring continuity of learning. Some schools with e-learning tools or
programs already in place are expanding or speeding up their use. Such
tactics are also being considered for use when hurricanes, snow, or
other situations prompt school closings. Free registration
