Blackboard. What Blackboard misses in flash, it offers in power. This web application is often used by universities to deliver online courses. If you input your students as Blackboard users, they can participate in online discussion forums, take online tests, upload digital assignments, etc. There is a fairly steep learning curve with this product if you wish to use the many of its features, but it well worth it if you are looking for a powerful Internet communication tool. If you wish to use Blackboard, let Diane know ASAP. Our county Blackboard expert will have to create a user name for you. See Mr. Story's Blackboard page.
