Speaking at an elementary school on the first day of classes in Washington, D.C., Duncan released recommendations on how educators can ensure that instruction continues should the virus cause high absenteeism or school closings

Duncan was joined by U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and representatives from several technology companies and publishers, such as Apple, Microsoft, and Pearson, which are working with the Education Department to offer print and online resources--some of which could be available free of charge--to schools severely affected by swine flu.

Companies might offer technology to allow students and teachers to communicate virtually, provide published instructional material, and provide computer servers that can handle transferring large amounts of teaching material.

With generous support from Elluminate, we've assembled this collection of stories from the eSchool News archives to help you stay up-to-date on all of the latest news regarding the H1N1 virus.
