 * Current Status:**

• Single sign-on access to BEEP is affected by the Teacher's ability to change the password in BB. Need a strategy to deal with this - Bb Sys Admin needs to turn off ability to change pwd. • Integration with other systems is a challenge (SAP) - separate Bb fee to set up integration w/SAP (one-time charge unless need maintenance) • Integration of grades from Bb to Pinnacle/Gradebook - separate fee for Bb to integrate Bb grades into Pinnacle Gradebook as one total grade Bb led training is typically 3 full days which is difficult for K-12 teachers to leave the classroom for 3 consecutive days
 * Challenges of Using Blackboard**
 * •** Upgrading to a new version: Now at 9.0 - should we go to 9.1?

• Professional Development Online Courses through Broward Virtual University K-12 teacher support
 * Current Need for Blackboard**

• New legislation which states that every high school student has to complete an online course. • Integration of Virtual Counselor to Bb for parents
 * Future Need for Blackboard**
