I believe the overall layout and type of content on the bulletin board should be consistent, so that it is easy to spot in on the homepage or in the LMS and so that student's know where on the board to find information they may be looking for. The one I've created below is a format I could easily recycle for each subsequent unit, changing out the links, images, and dates.
Artifact: Create a sample Bulletin Board, which is student-centered, innovative, and adheres to the guidelines delineated in this lesson. Have fun and be creative! Once completed, take a screenshot of the bulletin board and post the screenshot in your blog.
