Meems852 Mar 10 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1 Authentic learning is learning something bigger than the curriculum. It is about learning and doing something meaningful #sstlap

N_Davidson18 Mar 10 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1: it also involves more than just me as the final evaluation. Outside experts or audience brought in. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:14 PM EST

A2: Ss created vids to appeal for action to be taken on human rights issues that were important to them. Sent to another class #sstlap

CHitch94 Mar 10 @ 9:20 PM EST

@ConnellySue I haven't done this. Would think they could make app or Google Map that could be shared w/ community. #sstlap

getbettertoday5 Mar 10 @ 9:20 PM EST

Q3 #sstlap https://t.co/qevkuB0xo3

MrBarry628 Mar 10 @ 9:22 PM EST

A6: It's important to have some structure to choices. Some students (I was one of them) have trouble choosing when it is to open #sstlap

@scottmpetri They look like tic tac toe game bds. Teacher puts in product ideas. I try to hit diff learning styles. #sstlap

A7 Use group work and collab, but insist on ind work prods or presos. Adds grading time, but holds Ss acctble #sstlap

CHitch94 Mar 10 @ 9:49 PM EST

A7) Have Ss eval selves & grp members in terms of contribution/effort. Observe in class. Use GDocs or sim to see who's contributing. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Mar 10 @ 9:49 PM EST

A7 give Ss choice- let them choose the problem they want to solve- coach them up- let them fail in the end but not to engage & learn #sstlap

scottmpetri Mar 10 @ 9:49 PM EST

@jmadlin001 Any pics you can share later? #sstlap

Meems852 Mar 10 @ 9:51 PM EST

A7 Ss complete a survey to rate their group's performance as well as their own. I also grade them individually on certain parts #sstlap

N_Davidson18 Mar 10 @ 9:51 PM EST

A7: Ss choose groups (or go it alone if get want to); I observe a great deal; Ss self reflect #sstlap
