"Teachers can draw on technology applications to simulate real-world environments and create actual environments for experimentation, so that students can carry out authentic tasks as real workers would, explore new terrains, meet people of different cultures, and use a variety of tools to gather information and solve problems."
~ Means, Blando, Olson, Middleton, Morocco, Remz, and Zorfass (1993)(p.43)
