Snow days virtually eliminated with Web tools

This article talks about how schools are using Web tools to accommodate with snow days.  I think it's a great idea to have students use the Web to continue classes when we get big storms like we did this winter.  It would work great for when schools are shut down for multiple days.  A professor delivered a lecture in his pajamas, while the students were at home on their computers watching.  Also, the Web tools such as Skype is being used in public schools to connect with other schools across the world. Of course there are going to be some flaws such as not all students aren't going to have high speed internet at home.  Also, not all students are going to go online and check to see if there is something going on in class.  I feel that right now there are some glitches that need to be worked out, but in the near future I feel there are going to much more of this sort of thing happening, especially on snow days.
