Research Presentation and Format:
Wendy Grimshaw, a fantastic teacher from Virginia that I met at the NAGT Eastern Section Meetings made a point that we should be teaching students to present the way scientists present... at the earliest opportunity. Here are several links that she provided to help teachers and students design proper Poster Presentations. If you don't know what that is, you should check it out. There's some really great stuff here. Thanks, Wendy. [Randy]
