I don’t think I’ve been so glad to see a Friday come around in a long time. This has been a rough week in Geeky land. Everyone was sick. I, too, got a cold and sore throat. I was so grateful not to have stomach issues like Mr. Geeky and Geeky Boy that it seemed…
So, Saturday evening, really early Sunday morning, Geeky Girl woke up puking. Mr. Geeky got up and took care of her for the most part, though there was a point where the situation required two people. We chalked it up to some bad chicken and we all felt a little queasy on Sunday, but Geeky…
Blackboard, 9.0 :: Inside Higher Ed :: Higher Education’s Source for News, Views and Jobs IHE describes the launch of the new version of Blackboard as including Web 2.0 and social learning tools.
