BLC16

Participants will be challenged to rethink how they do projects. Authentic learning experiences offer students a high level of ownership, problem solving, engagement, and connectivity.

Using the genealogy project as an example, participants will be able to:
* develop an understanding of the power of authentic learning experiences
* transform one of their traditional projects into an authentic learning experience
* design and share ideas for future authentic learning experiences.

note - I call it authentic learning experience, because I have come to value the experience that the student goes through as much if not more than I value the content they are learning during the project.
