Online Learning: Schools out for flu, teachers stay online - Francesca Ayala, Macau Times
The closure of dozens of Hong Kong schools to try to halt the spread of swine flu has kept thousands of children at home, but new technology has meant they can no longer escape their teachers.The government announced the closure of all primary, kindergarten, nursery and special schools last week, after the city discovered its first local case of the A(H1N1) virus. In addition, several secondary schools have been shut down and disinfected after pupils tested positive for the virus, which has now infected more than 170 people in the territory. In response to the tough measures – which have drawn some complaints from parents – many schools in the southern Chinese city have implemented online instruction programmes so students can keep up with the curriculum from home.
