I gave students the option of continuing the use the Carnegie Learning software online, but I also encouraged them to check out Khan Academy and search for video tutorials dealing with the standards that they're struggling with (they all got a updated progress report of ALL standards earlier in the week). Some kids actually watched a decent number of videos and claimed they helped, some worked on their final exam note sheets, but a shocking number of students did absolutely nothing.
I'm honestly tempted to create either an online form or a paper log that students can sign admitting they they are in fact wasting class time, and I can give that to either parents or administration to avoid culpability.
