We want to inform our participants that the tool we use for our live sessions, Blackboard Collaborate, will NOT work on Chromebooks. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Blackboard does work with Google Chrome on traditional laptops and desktops, as well as on iPads and other mobile devices (download the free app here). It also works with all other Internet browsers.

In order to be ready to participate on May 21st, we highly recommend that you try downloading and opening up Blackboard Collaborate BEFORE May 2st. We have set up a room that you can use to try the software on your computer (test room link here). If you have trouble, please contact Blackboard Collaborate's help desk: 1-877-382-2293 or via web
