“Blogging gives me a sense of infinity. The curriculum relies on ritual and structure, but with blogging, this curriculum is constantly expanding.” Student comment

Motherblogs and Learning Communities Belonging & Purpose-- Efficacy & Authenticity Intensifying of Classroom Experience-- Deep Learning Student-Centered, Constructivist, Connectivist Learning

I just want to add that after reading these comments I thought of one more blogging benefit. Last week I was on my blog, reading one of Megan's comments about landscape. A few minutes later, I travelled over Barbara's blog to take a look, and Megan had commented below my comment, this time about the idea of blogging. In a period of 10 minutes, I'd met Megan in two different contexts, and had "conversations" with her that, I doubt, we'd have had face to face. There's links on the internet that don't exist in real life. It's natural on blogs to think. It's not so natural in day to day life. -A Student’s Reflection
