[ED-TECH] Internet responding

I am able to get out to my sites, including Blackboard, again.  Very responsive at the moment.  Typing quickly in case there are more problems.
 
By the way, I have no idea how to tell what is going on.  I couldn't get to our Blackboard system. I checked other systems and I could get to some but not others.  I called Telecomm and asked if there was some kind of network event taking place.  They said, "Yes."  I called my sister-in-law in Pennsylvania and her see if she could get to our Blackboard site.  She could.  I could get to my Google portal, but there was nothing in the tech news feeds about any network situation.
 
So I don't have any secret way of knowing what is going on outside of my experience.  Wish I did.
