Blackboard now has a new tab

This year Blackboard has added a new tab to the home screen. If you notice on the top right of the screen it says your name. If you click that, then a menu appears. You can check your grades and get upgrades from this new feature. The moment a grade is posted for you to view. You will see a red box with a number in it. Click the My grades to view a list of your most updated grade. This is a very nice featured that they added and I am very happy with it. I hope you all are too. Good work Blackboard.
