  • For Authentic Learning, Start with Real ProblemsIf your students are prone to asking, “When will we ever need to know this?”, then maybe it’s time for a dose of reality.By sparking students’ interest in real issues that affect them and their peers around the world, you will give them cause to think more critically about what they are learning. Better yet, you may give them a head start on becoming tomorrow’s problem-solvers.

For some teachers, this would have been a reason to stop using Google Docs, for others like Laura, it was a teaching opportunity and a chance to use it for learning. A quick call to the carpet, the class talked about the chat. Why did Google put it there? How would you use it? What would you say? And off they go again exploring the program.

  • Yes, they were all in the same room but what a great way to start teaching "chat etiquette" in an environment that could be monitored by a teacher.
  • Next it was time to find pictures. A lesson on Creative Commons and using compfight and the kids were off to find pictures for their articles. Another lesson on citation/attribution

    Perfect timing Tracy! My class is creating magazines this week with their own personal covers, but the inside articles will be created by all. I think the template will be perfect.
