NRHEG School Board
By REED WALLER
Staff Writer
Nathan Jensen and Michelle Mulder brought a website software presentation to the NRHEG school board at its regular meeting Monday, October 21.
They propose switching website portal software to Blackboard from rSchoolToday, the vendor the district is currently using to publish its website.
With the district’s communications and even its educational methods going more to net-based learning, SMART Boards, portable devices such as iPads, and online testing and curriculum management, the district’s technology experts have been looking at the NRHEG website with a critical eye.
Is the current website adequate? The consensus seems to be “no.”
