Authentic (via Joe Polman)

“What’s Authentic, More or Less” blog post

Three ways school-based project-based learning activities may be authentic:

  • authentic to me
  • authentic to others outside the classroom
  • involving use of authentic tools and practices that people really use outside school (adapted, and with extra support for learning)�(corollary: it can be helpful to work with experts in those tools and practices for planning and/or coaching)

ACCESS

23 of 43

“We can only do so much until all schools have access to the tools and the wiring and the teaching that supports all of this work. It’s still limited to pockets of places and needs to be everywhere. We argue that it won’t get done unless WE build it.”
