Students will write their entries by a predetermined date and then respond to their classmates once the first phase of the project is complete.]

After logging in to Blackboard
Click on the button labeled DISCUSSION BOARD
Select the Appropriate Forum
A discussion board can have multiple forums. Typically, each forum will represent a new assignment. Be sure to read the description and make sure you are entering information in the appropriate forum.
Understanding Threads
A forum may have multiple threads. So, to recap, a Discussion Board may have multiple FORUMS which may have multiple THREADS. A thread is similar to an email with multiple responses. When you reply to an email, you see the original email and your response(s) together. Think of a thread as the same concept where replies to the original email message are kept together.
You must click a thread to view its content.
Your instructor may allow you to create threads also. Feel free to suggest topics or pose questions to your classmates.
