Snow and opportunities for learning platforms

As I opened the curtains this morning and the new day greeted me with usual blizzard I had a thought. As school leaders struggle with their responsibilities on days like this - health and safety of their students in school against missed learning opportunities. What if they didnt have to oppose one another?

What if schools could say: the school buildings are closed today - learning will be happening solely in the learning platform?

It is possible I think. School communities would have to be in the habit of regular electronic communication. LP use would have to be embedded. All (or at least most) classes would have to be using the LP regularly. But it would remove some of the pressure schools are under in these exceptional weather circumstances we find ourselves in.
