	South Burlington School District's Internet connection went down
yesterday morning and stayed down throughout the school day.  Being
teachers, and used to making last-minute changes to plans, we
adapted.The district's websites were unavailable, having moved to the
cloud, but students and faculty still use local file storage and a local
email server, so everyone could get to critical services and local email
without any problems.  Our learning management server (Moodle) is
in-house, so for those who haven't started using their schools' web
server for these features, it was business as usual.  
	 
	The steam of students looking for computers to check their
personal email accounts dried up.  Students stopped looking for the
latest sports scores online and there were very few mindless Flash games
seen on LCD displays.  People walked outside to check the weather.
People seemed to adapt to life without the Internet pretty quickly,
though there were a few wandering around vacantly, looking for an errant
wi-fi signal.  Since we were only receiving local email, I only had to
process 30 or so messages all day.  None of the messages was a list of
links from Lucie that I would feel guilty about never getting the time
to check out.  No breaking headlines or live video feeds of oil leaking
into the Gulf.  It was just a peaceful, productive day; the most
pleasant day of teaching in at least a decade.
	 
	It was almost like a dream.
