I just happened to be at a gifted-talented workshop that day and our students were left in the hands of substitutes. Poor things!
One of my students said the teacher was speechless and didn't know what to do because all the kids were watching. I wish I could have been with them. That had to have been very difficult!
I heard the wife of one of the Challenger victims speak at a conference once.
I was also teaching when President Reagan was shot. We spent a lot of time down the hall trying to watch bits and pieces of the news.
From your second link:
"People who really cared, people who believed in them wanted to continue that mission," said Challenger Center founder June Scobee Rodgers, who was married to shuttle Commander Dick Scobee.
Scobee Rodgers led the effort to start Challenger Center, which aims to carry on the mission of the Teacher in Space program in memory of the flight crew.
"A tribute of something they loved so much, something they were willing to risk their lives for," she said.

I'm pretty sure this is who I heard speak. It was a few years after the crash.
