Purpose & Objectives
The purpose of this presentation is to share K-12 projects where students have made an impact on their classroom,school, or community. The objectives are as follows:
1. Participants will learn about authentic learning and effectiveness of the real world.2. Participants will learn ideas to implement authentic student projects with high technology integration.
The three presenters are university professors. One teaches elementary math methods courses, another teachessecondary education methods and assessment courses, and the third teaches educational technology courses.
Projects that teachers have implemented with students in K-12 settings will be presented and discussed. Theseuniversity professors were involved in these projects either as a supervisor of the teacher or in co-planning thelessons and reviewing student learning.
Outline
The presenters will have a multimedia slideshow, a poster, and printed materials for participants about authenticlearning and passion-based learning as well as ideas for projects where students use technology in these real worldapplications.
Supporting Research
Authentic learning or a real world connection focuses on real-world, complex problems and their solutions. Authenticlearning can involve using role-playing exercises, problem-based activities, case studies, and participation in virtualcommunities of practice. However, it is best if learning can occur in the real world. Herrington and Oliver (2000)pose that an “authentic” learning environment provides authentic contexts that reflect the way that knowledge will beused in real life, authentic activities as close to the real world as possible, access to expert performances and themodeling of processes, multiple roles and perspectives, and authentic assessment of learning within the tasks. Marc Prensky (2010) makes a keen distinction between relevance and real. Relevance means that students canrelate to something taught, or something said, to something they know. In other words, the context is familiar tothem or happened in the past. Prensky posits that the problem with relevance is that it does not go far enough. Realmeans that there is a perceived connection by the students between what they are learning and their ability to use

that learning to do something useful in the world. Real learning not only relates content to current issues/events inthe world today or the future, but it involves making a difference or having an affect on those current issues orevents. Technology integration is critical to 21st century learning. Higher levels of the technology integration promotetechnology as an integral, necessary component of the learning process. Technology has been shown to increasestudent motivation and engagement (Leonard, Meng-Tzu & Holmes, 2010; Kay & Knaack, 2009), prepare studentsfor jobs (Pennington & Seltzer, 2001), and enhance students’ ability to work collaboratively (Graves, Abbitt, Klett, &Wang, 2009; Snyder & Miller, 2009). Technology can have a positive effect on student achievement when pairedwith higher-order thinking skills, problem-solving ability, or capacity to locate, evaluate, and use information(Ringstaff & Kelley, 2002).
