34. Students and teachers should be blogging, creating documentaries, Skyping with kids in other countries, podcasting, and creating digital portfolios. Create an online profile for Julius Caesar, Holden Caulfield, Atticus Finch, or John Wilkes Booth? What interests would they put down for those figures? How would they present themselves online? Who would their friends be? What events would be on their calendar? What would their status updates be like? Imagine the depth a student could go into developing such a project for a literary character or historical figure. Or, as Dr. Heidi Hayes Jacobs says, don't do that. Have them do a poster or oral report instead. That'll hook 'em. And go ahead and laminate that poster, or in Dr. Jacobs words, mummify it.

44. Characteristics of PBL are Authentic Learning Activities Real-world relevance: Activities match as nearly as possible the real-world tasks of professionals in practice rather than decontextualized or classroom-based tasks. Ill-defined: Activities require students to define the tasks and subtasks needed to complete the activity Complex, sustained tasks: Activities are completed in days, weeks, and months rather than minutes or hours. They require significant investment of time and intellectual resources. Multiple perspectives; Provides the opportunity for students to examine the task from different perspectives using a variety of resources, and separate relevant from irrelevant information. Collaborative; Collaboration is integral and required for task completion. Value laden: Provide the opportunity to reflect and involve students; beliefs and values. Interdisciplinary: Activities encourage interdisciplinary perspectives and enable learners to play diverse roles and build expertise that is applicable beyond a single well-defined field or domain. Authentically assessed: Assessment is seamlessly integrated with learning in a manner that reflects how quality is judged in the real world. Authentic products: Authentic activities create polished products valuable in their own right rather than as preparation for something else. Multiple possible outcomes: Activities allow a range and diversity of outcomes open to multiple solutions of an original nature, rather than a single correct response obtained by the application of predefined rules and procedures. (From Reeves, T. Cl., Herrington, Jl, & Oliver, R. (2002).Authentic activity as a model for web-based learning. 2002 Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association, New Orleans, LA, USA.)
