We don't get the National Geographic channel, but I looked at their website and quite a few of the shows are available online. The kids and I are sick (not with h1n1) so this comes at a really nice time for us. Better than me stressing about not having anything prepared for Thanksgiving.

As the nation heeds the significance of President Obama’s declaration of a national emergency to deal with the H1N1 flu, educators are bracing for the possibility of wide spread impact on student learning as a result of the virus. National Geographic Channel and National Geographic School Publishing are responding to the urgent call of U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan to provide continuity of learning to keep students, sick or well, engaged in meaningful education activities if they are kept home during flu season.

To help address the needs of students who will be impacted, National Geographic Channel and National Geographic School Publishing are providing a special six-week programming block and free education resources that will be made available during what is expected to be peak flu season. All programming is G-rated and culled from the network’s award winning specials and ongoing series including Explorer, Naked Science, and Wild Spaces, while the educational materials are suitable for elementary, middle school and high school students, applicable to science, social studies and other disciplines.
