Learning by Doing and Blogging (A Link)

Weblogg-ed points to several blog entries by students in Pat Aroune's summer class. Mr. Aroune asked his students to think about economics as it related to their personal interests and write about these thoughts on blogs. I think that this is a great way to get students to think about important ideas. After all, they are obviously interested in the topic. I wish that my teachers would have taught me about wind by explaining how a sailboat works, since I've been a sailor all my life. Take a look at what Aroune's students are writing here and here.

For some reason, I couldn't find a link to Aroune's blog on Weblogg-ed, so I googled it. Here it is.
