Larry Magid: Getting ready for back to ‘virtual’ school

September is back to school time. In normal years, it’s the time for buying clothes and supplies and starting the routine of early morning breakfasts followed by the kids trudging off to school.
But this is far from a normal year. For many families, “school” is no longer a place you go to but the place where you live, and many students are sharing their “campus” with their parents’ workplace, putting an even bigger demand on internet access, available equipment, working spaces and the sanity of everyone in the family.
