Authentic Learning Units include well-developed, authentic problems to give students a felt-need to learn content and promote higher-order thinking skills and for the teacher to use as a starting point for further activity development:

• Each Authentic Learning Unit (ALU) on MyQPortal includes an analytic rubric that can be used for assessment as well as to clarify expectations for students at the onset of a project.
• ALUs can be used to differentiate instruction and allow students to take responsibility for their own learning - students can use the rubric to self-assess their progress. An entire unit of instructional activities can be provided within the context of a single ALU.

• Various booklets and worksheets will help you implement new structures and strategies in the classroom.
• Resources found can be used in conjunction with other materials on MyQPortal.

How To resources offer technology skill instruction in easy-to-follow, discrete steps:

• How-To Sheets allow technology users to become more independent and help themselves - giving technology staff more time to pursue strategic technology initiatives. Step-by-step directions for specific technical tasks offer just-in-time learning - students and teachers can get instruction when it is relevant to them, freeing teachers to spend time focusing on content-area skills rather than technology skills.

Articles will generate discussion and reflection on the art and science of teaching:

• Emerging Thoughts articles pose interesting points for all educators to think and talk about and can be used to spark dynamic dialogue at faculty meetings. A key element of professional development is reflection about our role as educators.
• TechTonic articles are relevant to all educators - from PreK to Higher Education and will generate ideas about how to infuse technology into the classroom. A focus on educational uses for technology, rather than business uses, will spur innovative thinking about technology in the curriculum.
