Classroom Productivity Soars with New Release!

We've turned the Global Chalkboard up a notch! Now, watch your productivity soar! With a new Lesson Creator you can build lessons even faster. And what's even more important, the interface is designed to be intuitive, so it's a snap to use.

Increased Productivity with a New Interface
A new and improved Lesson Creator has been designed to mimic exactly how you work. So, don't worry. You don't have to change your methods. If anything, your work will go faster because those settings used most, appear first.

Here's what we did. Every time you enter the Lesson Creator, the first screen you see is the Lessons screen. This screen initially lists all of your lessons with the option of redisplaying all shared lessons in your school. You can initiate editing, viewing, copying, deleting and setting lessons from this list. It is also where you can begin adding a new lesson. Most functions are associated with the clickable icons next to the Lesson Name. It's that simple!

Using the new, clean-cut design of the Add Lesson screen, you can begin immediately to "make it all happen!"

If you select "Add New Lesson" from the top of the screen, you immediately go to a screen that resembles the previous Basic Settings screen. However, instead of tabs for further functionality, you have clickable links immediately below the setting.

You asked. We're delivering. A New and Improved Student Start Page!
Now, you can reorder the placement of Web links on the Student Start Page, and you can add additional links without entering them as Allowed Sites. To make the Student Start Page even easier to use, a title can be displayed instead of the URL. With the new Student Start Page, students can accomplish their lessons faster; this meets the primary objective of all Global Chalkboard improvements—to raise the bar on classroom productivity!

The end result, the Global Chalkboard is designed for both beginners and advanced users. To start, the initial settings on this screen are all that is needed. And, as you get further advanced, the clickable links provide you with the added functionality you may desire.

Just click on Help at the top, right-hand corner if you need assistance in using a new screen. Help provides definitions of each field and procedures on how to use the product.

As always, BASCOM is committed to constantly improving the quality of the Global Chalkboard!

Please forward this BASCOM Blast to everyone on your staff that's a Lesson Manager using the Global Chalkboard.
