Ephiphany, Tools, Woo Hoo

Today was a great day for new stuff! It's amazing how two little tools in Blackboard can change how I do things.

First, knowing I could make a falsey student (Dora Doppleganger) was great! I'm so excited to have this option for modelling how assignments (especially Discussion Board responses) should look.

Finding out that I can look up the log in statistics for my students and courses RULES!! What a great tool... I have felt a lack in my ability to monitor my students and their dedication (or lack thereof) to their courses. I am looking forward to using this tool and the information it provides me to help me become more VISIBLE. :)

If we were going to keep on with Blackboard it would be nice to know more about all the tools and bells and whistles. If we move to other software I hope we learn all the ins and outs of it so we can make use of these types of things.
