CLIENT FEEDBACK

Beta Client Quote

“While we are just beginning to apply the new K-12-specific features of 9.1, we are very excited by the new Standards Alignment and Lesson Plan tools incorporated into the product. These, along with the blog and wiki tools, create a managed learning environment that will engage K-12 teachers and administrators and allow them to apply new practices required of 21st Century learners and teachers!” Daniel Lake at Onondaga-Cortland-Madison BOCES

CLIENT FEEDBACK

Beta Client Quote

“Today’s students are knowledge seekers, and information seekers, and users of social networking technology. And in order to be successful in our global economy, and in order for them to be global citizens, they need to learn using social networking tools and globalization tools. And Blackboard Learn, Release 9.1 is the closest available to providing that functionality in a learning management system today.” Jed Friedrichsen at Blendedschools.net

Wrap-Up and Q&A

“ We need to prepare learners to be globally competitive through the development of 21st century skills.”

Jed Friedrichsen, Chief Administrative Officer, Blendedschools.net

“ I don’t believe there’s a district in the nation that would tell you standards doesn’t play a role in the work that they do.  In this age of accountability, our state assessment system is driven by state standards.  Therefore, we have to be granular about what our standards are and how those standards translate into instruction. ”

Dr. Lissa Pijanowski, Asst. Sup. for Academics and Accountability, Forsyth County, Georgia
