- Title
Authentic Learning in the Social Studies Classroom: Connecting Globally.
- Authors
Lock, Jennifer
- Abstract
Students in a global classroom engage in learning that is participatory, collaborative and connected. By designing and facilitating authentic social studies learning for such environments, students are able to develop a greater understanding of who they are as global citizens. In this article, authentic learning, contemporary learning, and affordances and selection of technology are examined. Two examples of projects provide insight into the depth of learning, the integration of technology and how the role of the educator changes when using a global classroom approach. Five guidelines are presented to support designing and facilitating learning in a global classroom.
