 * Job outlook, salary, and career opportunities for a MLT
 * At least one video related to the MLT career
 * Educational requirements to become a MLT

The finished Glogster poster will incorporate at least //one of each// of the following:

 * Text
 * Image
 * Video

**Day 1**: Students will spend day one researching on the internet what a MLT is, areas of the lab in which a MLT can work, and common tests performed in each area. **Day 2**: Students will spend day two researching on the internet job outlook, salary, and career opportunities for a MLT. **Day 3**: Students will spend day three finding a video on the internet related to the MLT career. **Day 4**: Students will spend day four researching educational requirements to become a MLT. **Day 5**: Students will spend ten minutes presenting their Glogster poster to the class. After each presentation, the class will participate in a discussion about each student's poster.

//You will have to sign each student up for a Glogster account prior to introducing the program. Each student will have a unique username and password. Glogster allows free student accounts for up to 50 students.//
 * Notes to the Instructor: **

// It might be a good idea to assign each student a specific MLT career to focus on for Day 2 so that a variety of MLT careers are discussed. Some careers included could be working in a hospital lab, specialization in any of the core laboratory areas, research, education, sales, fertility clinics, or crime labs. //
