1. Definition of an Authentic Learning Environment:


An Authentic Learning Environment is anywhere that asks students to create products
and learn processes with real purposes and a real audience. Purposes outside of getting a
grade and pleasing the teacher increase ownership of learning. Audiences larger than just a
singular classroom increase achievement and metacognition. The Six Strings of authentic
learning describe Authentic Learning as a Contextual, Connected, Collaborative, Change-
Directed, Conversational, and Continuous environment (See separate Authentic Learning
document for more information). This means that teachers should create activities,
assignments, and assessments based upon the idea that all learning can and should last longer
than the course.

2. Introduction
2.1 Tools
Tools are any website that allows the user to create,
collaborate, or connect for a specific pedagogical purpose.
They may be able to more than one thing, but they are not
something that challenges thinking. It is something to use
within the authentic environment, but it cannot become a
reason to do an assignment.

2.2 Resources
Resources are any webpage that allows the user to learn more about pedagogy, teaching
strategies, or technology usage. Resources are places that you can keep coming back to
because there is frequently updated content. They are works that challenge you to think
differently and teach differently. They are places that ask you for contributions to the
conversation. Resources are models for your practice, but tools are required to put the ideas
proposed into your own authentic environment.

3. Required Materials
All of the resources and tools in this document are completely free in the way that they
are described. A few resources have a tiered sign-up process, meaning that for added
capabilities there is a small price. The majority, however, do not require so much as an e-mail
address.
The following are the only pieces of tangible technology that are required to use many of
these tools and resources:
• A computer (any kind)
• An internet connection (dial-up is okay, but for video, audio and image tools you will
need a faster connection)
• An e-mail address (you can use tempinbox.com if you don’t have one)
