Greetings colleagues:
Many upper level students (middle school) have been asking me about Ebola and searching it on the internet. I have been trying hard to guide them to reliable websites and sources of information to allay their fears about it.
If you find yourself in the same spot, note that the state of CT launched their own website on all things Ebola.
