How can you use authentic learning strategies such as place-based and problem-based learning, simulations, and tinkering in the classroom? Think about:
-The rationale for implementing authentic learning strategies
-What type of strategy that fits your future classroom demographic and teaching style
-What strategy you plan to implement and what it will look like (examples)
-Classroom management considerations
