Blackboard

Blackboard is a very interesting topic. This semester has really changed and as I was just getting used to the old version they changed it on us again. I do like the current version better however. I like the fact that you can open different windows and tabs from a master control panel. I also like the option of just being able to focus on the important things such as email, blackboard, and especially the addition of the Oasis tab on the "My Newsfeed" panel.

Furthermore, after I became acquainted with the new version of Blackboard I proceeded to play around with it and see what I could find and learn. I discovered that there are games, all different kinds of apps for iTunes and more, and I even personalized my page! Who knew there was so much to discover on Blackboard.

After taking this course it made me realize just how much I didn't pay attention to detail. I usually just logged into Blackboard to do my course work and submit my assignments, but now I have a better understanding for technologies and web 2.0. Blackboard itself can become a tutor to show students how we can use all different kinds of technologies in useful ways and fun ways as well.
