The Discussion Tab can be used in several different ways. I've listed a few, but I'm sure you can think of many other creative ideas.

__**Ideas: **__ 1. Have students ask questions about content. 2. Post links to homework or additional material and websites for projects. 3. Class discussions where each student has to respond to a discussion question. 4. Post their opinions on different science issues. 5. Have students give tips and suggestions to future students. 6. Post questions about the lab or assignments, where other students could respond.
