When students are given tasks that are meaningless, contrived and inconsequential, they are less likely to take them seriously and be engaged by them. However, if the task carries real consequences, it is likely that engagement will increase. Do the products produced have meaningful and significant consequences to the students: Are students' working conditions similar to the "real world?"]]> 2018-04-02 14:50:03 UTC https://padlet.com/judy_knight/lfvk13z02gs9/wish/247822605
