Connecting students to learning situations outside of class not only gives them real life situations but also provides them with somewhere else they can go to learn. This chapter points out that a classroom and even a teacher are not always the best place for students to learn. Giving them opportunities to go out in the community allows them a new situation to learn in and other resources in which they can draw upon.
I think that students need to see how what they are learning is used in the real world in order to gain an appreciation for it. Also taking them outside the classroom or bringing in experts lets them see where their interest could take them. Bringing students into the community also reminds community member that students are part of their community and have a major impact on it.
