Alright, let's get started!
Q1 In your opinion, what is authenticity as it relates to classroom instruction? #oklaed pic.twitter.com/ygI3NIv1KB

— K20 Center (@k20center) May 7, 2018

Authenticity is one of the foundational IDEALS of the K20 Center. #authenticity #oklaed pic.twitter.com/ANYD1GBwgv

A1: Authenticity is ANYTHING that a student does which has real world relevance to applying content knowledge to real world situations….. In other words, an assignment that isn't a damn worksheet! #oklaed

Q2 This authenticity thing, is it even necessary for student learning? Why or why not? #oklaed pic.twitter.com/uqvnPaGDNC

— K20 Center (@k20center) May 7, 2018

A2: and for the record, state assessments are the ABSOLUTE worst mechanism to determine if an #oklaed Ss has learned how to apply their content knowledge to the world. It is really a joke….. a bad joke

Q3 For you as a learner, what makes a learning experience authentic? #oklaed pic.twitter.com/7L22V385VT

— K20 Center (@k20center) May 7, 2018

A3. For me, I look it at as "How can I use it in multiple circumstances/situations?"#oklaed https://t.co/xN7vM2LhiN

Q4A What are the barriers that prevent teachers from creating authentic learning experiences for their students? #oklaed pic.twitter.com/mIWe0JfumD

— K20 Center (@k20center) May 7, 2018

A4A Laziness and getting too comfy in a routine. It’s easy to do the same thing instead of keeping lessons relevant. For my class, tech is ALWAYS changing so I have to stay informed in order to keep my students informed. #OklaEd

Q6 What do you tell people who say that authentic teaching is too hard and is not worth the trouble? #oklaed pic.twitter.com/dqU1u1UguM

— K20 Center (@k20center) May 7, 2018

Q7 How does authentic instruction relate to student engagement? #oklaed pic.twitter.com/Fbu8pAig7s

— K20 Center (@k20center) May 7, 2018

How about another strategy? #oklaed https://t.co/GL427DJTri pic.twitter.com/eqKXHyLZ55

— K20 Center (@k20center) May 7, 2018

A7 Authentic instruction heightens Ss emotional interests. Ss are pulled toward a content area because they are energized, excited, and emotionally engaged by the material. Results in heightened comprehension in Ss!#OklaEd #SNUed https://t.co/HZDeylYg0I

Q8 How do you facilitate authentic instruction when students have never experienced learning this way before? #oklaed pic.twitter.com/D4qMBzE6VW

— K20 Center (@k20center) May 7, 2018

Digital game based learning is a great way to introduce authentic teaching into your classroom. #oklaed pic.twitter.com/9WxsMXXsk9

— K20 Center (@k20center) May 7, 2018

A8 trust the data. S’s curiosity should remain high and does when we are authentic in the way we teach them. When they don’t care we should change something. #oklaed

Boomsauce tweet(s) of the night:

Scott:

A8 it isn’t easy or for the faint of heart. You have to build a relationship with them and implement carefully—so they don’t even realize that you’re doing something different until it’s already done. #sneakybutitworks #oklaed
