Transforming Teaching
A is for Authenticity: Using Technology to Make Learning Relevant for 21st Century Kids
Presented At:
Highway 21 Conference (Adams 12 School District), Thorton, Colorado, June 2010
Simulation-Based Learning
Student-Created Media
Program Description: 21st Century kids are motivated by solving real-world problems, and express a preference for doing rather than listening. For years these experiences have been difficult to implement because they are too expensive, too dangerous, or just too complicated for a school setting. Technology offers many opportunities to bring authentic learning experiences into our classrooms and engage our students. Bring your laptop to explore a framework for authentic learning and tools to make it all possible!
