Blogging allows students and teachers to reflect on what they are learning, and how that knowledge applies to their “real” world.  After all, what we really KNOW is useful to our lives, if knowledge isn’t useful, aside from Trivial Pursuit (LOL), then why do we need to learn it?  But when we truly understand what we are learning, the connetiveness of life and knowledge is readily viewable everywhere in our lives!  Physics and mountain bike riding, chemistry and baking cookies, biology and sprinting.
