Material Detail

Laura Williams has noticed something about projects in the classroom. Some of them are fake. Well, maybe a better word to describe them is “inauthentic.”

In her new guest post, Laura writes: “We have enough problems to solve. We do not need to make them up. And if we want students to get better at problem solving, we have to give them real problems to solve. “They know the difference.”

In this post, Laura shares:

• the six student benefits when they work on real projects
• an incredible example student project
• three descriptive goals for authentic learning
• six fantastic resources to help with authentic learning

And in her guest post, you’ll get all of these examples, resources, and ideas. Check it out!

Note that this is a blog post with useful examples of actual authentic projects (think The Anne Frank Project) and, you can get the resources free just by providing your email, however there is a cost if you want to buy the game or book,
