3. Why use Jing for Videos?
Hey Mr. Pickett, I tried to schedule an appointment with you using Starfish, but I can’t figure the dumb thing out. I’m so frustrated! Which reply will save you and your students time and frustration? #1: Hello student, Start by logging-in to Blackboard, then find Starfish near the bottom of the left-most column. Once you’ve selected it, choose “My Success Network” and then scroll down to the bottom of the next wide column over from that to find me. Then click on “schedule an appointment” and follow the prompts from there. -OR- #2: Hello student, Check out this video on how to use Starfish to schedule an appointment.
