What is a Message Board? A message board is where students and teachers can ask questions to be answered by other members of the group.
Students should feel free to ask questions and reply to questions.
So how do I start? The message board is organized by date, the most recent messages are posted at the top.
Here's an example:
**************************************************************
**************************************************************
*************************************************************
*************************************************************
Here there are three individual messages with the sufjects of "asfdsf", " Test", and "Re: Test". The arthor of "Test" is "Dr. O."and the authur of "asfdsf" is "warren". The message "Test" was posted at 13:34:42(1:34 pm) on 9/02/98. Also, "(1)" of "Test" means that there is 1 reply or follow up message to "Test". The follow up message is "Re: Test."
In order to read messages just click on the subject, or title, of the message.
Example:
*************************************************************
