I keep Clorox wipes by the computers and hand sanitizers at various points around the center. We have signs up encouraging people to use them. My student workers also encourage clients to use them. This really IS a concern. I work for the Concordia Language Villages in the summer (Dean of the French Village) and this past summer, 2 different villages ended up with outbreaks. Ours did not - but we DID keep hand sanitizers available and enforced their use before meals. If your center gets the computer turn around that mine does (one student gets up and another sits down), then I would definitely go the double whammy route with the Clorox wipes and hand sanitizers. We also keep kleenex (or toilet paper) available so that students have a place to sneeze. I wish everyone a healthy year, Brenda Bertrand Director Foreign Language Learning Center Wittenberg University Springfield, Ohio ________________________________________ From: Language Learning and Technology International Information Forum [[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Todd F.

I realize that we're all in a somewhat special position as we're working with keyboards, microphones, headsets and whatnot. H1N1 is already in Nashville and even though there might be a lot of hype surrounding it, I think that some measures should be taken. I just don't know which ones. Suggesions? Todd F.
