authenticity

"95-99% of what our students produce in school is academic exercise. There is an audience of one or two people experiencing student work. If no one looks at your work, it is hard to see the relevance. Significance and audience are intertwined. I get the impression sometimes that students have been conditioned to think of their teacher as the only plausible audience for their classroom work. This is a trend that thoughtful podcasting classroom can break."
