Edit your Notification Settings in Blackboard! Tired of seeing those red numbers beckoning to you out of the corner of your eye?  While you can make them go away by actually looking at your notifications, you can also edit the notifications that you will receive. If you only want to receive notifications from a particular Org, you can set that up in your notification settings. Check out the link to see how to make these changes.
