Did you know that the Bulletin Boards in Blackbaud K–12’s learning management system are an effective way to improve information access and cut paper and printing costs? Bulletin Boards provide teachers with a convenient location for posting general course information, such as the syllabus or helpful resources. This type of information has historically been printed out—or worse, not shared at all because there wasn’t an easy distribution method.

We understand that many students are visual learners, so it’s important to note that a reduction in paper doesn’t mean fewer visuals—in fact, it can mean more! Bulletin Boards are a great way to showcase class visuals, such as photos, videos, and slideshow presentations—further reducing the paper footprint.
