What can we include in the course that will make the content engaging, interactive, relevant, and real? You can post anything: a subtopic, question, discussion topic, activity, idea for a video etc., just click the "+" sign. You can add links, pictures etc. ]]> 2018-09-07 16:02:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rebecca_eyelean/zaqkmrop5ywh/wish/278918095 https://padlet.com/rebecca_eyelean/zaqkmrop5ywh/wish/279381959 Have students go out and take photos of plants, and then label the various parts discussed in the course material. Alternatively, they can use photos of plants from a free photo service.
