Announcements
The Announcements page is the first page the students see when they enter a Blackboard course. This is a great place to post important messages to your students such as deadlines, changes, corrections, clarifications, and schedules. This is not a place to put long pieces of information, just short announcements.

Yes and no. You cannot change the order the same way you do with folders and items elsewhere in Blackboard. However, you can change the order by modifying an announcement. The last modified announcement will appear at the top. The last permanent announcement to be modified will be the top announcement. Permanent announcements are displayed first with the most recent permanent announcements appearing first. Non-permanent announcements always display after the permanent announcements.

You can have an announcement link to another part of your Blackboard course so students can get to the information easily. To do so, click Browse and follow the course map until you find the area or document you want to link. Click the Submit button in the small course map. Click the Submit button in the options page.
