For more information about this NMC session and panelists (or to register independently of the CFE event), go to: http://www.nmc.org/events/horizon-creating-authentic-learning-opportunities.
SESSION INFORMATION: Authentic learning, especially that which brings real life experiences into the classroom, is still all too uncommon in schools. Authentic learning is seen as an important pedagogical strategy, with great potential to increase the engagement of students who are seeking some connection between the world as they know it exists outside of school, and their experiences in school that are meant to prepare them for that world. Use of learning strategies that incorporate real life experiences, technology, and tools that are already familiar to students, and interactions from community members are examples of approaches that can bring authentic learning into the classroom. Practices such as these may help retain students in school and prepare them for further education, careers, and citizenship in a way that traditional practices are too often failing to do.
Ithaca College is a member of the New Media Consortium. NMC is an international community of experts in educational technology which produces the annual “Horizon Project”, a research initiative that examines emerging technologies for their potential impact on and use in teaching, learning, and creative inquiry. The NMC annual conference will be in the Washington DC area in June 2015 and we hope to send a group from Ithaca College. See NMC.org for more information about the New Media Consortium.
