This Friday, December 5th, the last day of classes, there will be a Fun Friday event and a Blackboard's Grade Center training session. I know how busy everyone is at the end of the semester, but you might find these sessions worthy of your limited time.
Fun Friday, 12:20 pm - 1:10 pm, Learning Center, Room 170 - Fun Friday is an informal demonstration of interesting web sites, hardware, and software. Take a break from your busy day and enjoy lunch with technology. This week we expect to demonstrate the i>clicker system, Elluminate vrooms, and Boxee. Don't know what they are? Here is your chance to find out. And lunch is on us! Register by going to http://www.miami.edu/iac and clicking on the "Events" menu item. If you have special requests for your lunch from Subway, put them in the "Comments" field.
Blackboard's Grade Center, 2:30 pm - 4:00 pm, Memorial Classroom Building, Room 313 - We are now running Blackboard version 8.0, and the old gradebook has been significantly updated. It has been changed so much, it has been renamed the Grade Center. At the end of the semester, join us for an overview of the new Grade Center features. You can use the grade center to calculate your student's grades this semester, or have it set up to help you our for next semester. Register by going to http://www.miami.edu/iac and clicking on the "Events" menu item.
