eBoard is an easy-to-use online service that lets any educator create a web site in just minutes. Your eBoard acts like an on-line cork board where you can post information for students and parents. Your postings show up as sticky notes, which can be opened by clicking on the note title (e.g. "Welcome" or "Grading" in the example below). You can further organize your eBoard into multiple sections, or tabs. Each tab has its own notes. In the example below, Mr. Smith has organized his eBoard into five tabs ("Welcome", "Biology", "Chemistry", "Biology Honors", and "Extra Credit"). You can also customize your eBoard by adding a title - in this case, "Mr. Smith's Science". To see examples of our eBoards click on these links:
