This is the last week to submit, or vote on, proposals for the
"Collaborate for Good" contest at http://www.wecollaborate.com. Let us
know how you would use a free Blackboard Collaborate room to make a
difference for your school, your organization, your community, or the
world! (Blackboard Collaborate is the newly combined platform that

Proposals are due by Monday, July 25th. Ten winners will each receive
