The Science Poster for the GT Student Course Content
1. The video and article will provide you with guidance on how to integrate poster presentations into your GT science classroom. The course also includes some "Reflect or Discuss" prompts to help you connect with the course content and ends with a "Try This Task" to guide you explicitly on how you might implement the ideas into the classroom.
Quiz
1. You will answer questions related to science labs and poster presentations. Quizzes are automatically scored and provide feedback on answer choice rationale.
Implementation Reflection
1. The reflection prompt requires you to plan for use of the "try this task" by either reflecting on the content yourself or discussing them with the colleague. You will then discuss a new concept you can attempt to implement in the future based on something you learned in the course.
Considerations for Implementation
