Last week in our school district we had the internet go down 3 separate times in 3 consecutive days. To some this was a disaster of utmost proportions but to others it didn't effect their daily lessons one bit and may actually have enhanced conversations and relationships. As I lived the 'no internet' days I jotted down a few reflections. Below, in no certain order, is pro's and con's of when the internet goes down: What Happens in Schools When the Internet Goes Down
How about where you work? What happens when the internet goes down at your school/workplace? Is it good? Bad? A wash? Comment below!

Luckily when the Internet goes down at school, our phones often keep us connected. Crazy to realize that some of the old ways of doing things did help us make more personal connections sometimes. Always trade-offs I suppose.

In my line of work as a 100% online teacher, an internet outage would be the equivalent of a snow day (which I otherwise no longer have as an online teacher)!

Agreed Donna! It is also impressive all the good that comes out of the unplanned too!
