A snow day is a rare and blessed occasion, giving both school children and their teachers some welcome respite from the grinding winter classroom routine. Instead of more maths, kids can enjoy tobogganing, hockey and other winter sports, getting some much needed exercise and ridding themselves of all the pent up energy derived from months spent indoors.

The sanctity of the snow day notwithstanding, school board authorities in West Virginia have done away with it altogether, launching a learning assistance website, learn21.com, which will keep children studying even when the snow keeps them away from school. The new site will help kids to learn science, math and social studies from home, or anywhere else, when the forces of nature, family or truancy prevent them from attending traditional classes.

The site was tested extensively within the existing school system by the West Virginia Department of Education. The incorporation of various interactive features, automated reporting and the ability to review material covered in class under the existing curriculum are among the reasons West Virginia school board members feel the site will be a success. West Virginia students had “significant influence” in deciding on the content, and determining how cheap web hosting of learning materials would translate into the online environment.

Similar sites have begun cropping out throughout the United States, offering schoolchildren various avenues for assistance, from primary school ages right through to the post-secondary phase. Pennsylvania authorities recently released a third-party site tasked with helping kids choose the technical or university programs best suited to their skills and interests. Cheap webhosting and an increased sense of accessibility is making the online sphere increasingly crucial to the American educational process. While snow days are no more, it is no small comfort that West Virginia children are being given the tools, however mundane they might seem, to succeed in education.
