This is the main page of the Blackboard site. On the left hand column you will see a navigation bar that will take you to various parts of the program.

This is the first part of the syllabus. It lists the course description, intended audience, course rationale, goals, and objectives.

The second part of the syllabus lists the objectives, required readings, helpful links, and academic course requirements.

The course schedule was designed to be a 9-day summer professional development course that educators could take. A brief day-to-day schedule is shown in the picture.

This is the initial list of the assignments that would be required during the course. The next slide will go into detail about of the tasks.

Here you see task 4. During this task the student would be required to read an article and create a screencast discussing key points of the article. Examples of screencast tools were listed for the students however, they were not required to use those specific ones.

Every Blackboard site needs a discussion board. Our discussion board had a forum for questions, comments, and concerns as well as two forums that were part of specific assignments.

Our final section of our site was a “links” section which consisted of useful links that the students could use for more information.
