Productive Snow Days

There's a very interesting blog post on The Washington Post's web site about an Ohio school district's handling of snow days.

Instead of making the snow days up later in the year, Mississinawa School District has what they call "e-days." Students stay at home and download work posted by teachers on their web sites. Students without computers have more time to turn in the work, since they can't do the work until they get back to school.

This idea would be AWESOME here! I already post assignments on my web site for students to do. It would be great to be able to count snow days as school days. Teachers already do work during these days--it'd be great to see students get credit for these days, too.
