Lesson 1
- The Notecard System Course Content
- The video and article will provide you with an understanding of the Notecard System as a study tool that can be taught to your students. 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 teach study skills in your classroom.
- Quiz
- You will answer questions related to study skills. Quizzes are automatically scored and provide feedback on answer choice rationale.
- Implementation Reflection
