Hello fellow ECUR 498 bloggers, and welcome to Intracurricular Activities. I wanted to post a brief introduction to my blog, not to bump up my post totals, but to outline what you can expect to read in this space. Also, I needed to post to test drive the theme I chose...
As you may have gleaned from the extremely pretentious books I have used as the background for this blog, I like philosophy. I also enjoy the (equally pretentious) big words that philosophers and literary theorists like to use. I thrive on higher level conversations, and I like to push the envelope. I like to be the one who answers questions in class, does the extra reading, and challenges instructors and other students to defend their viewpoints. I understand that this can rub some people the wrong way, but I do not want to feel like I have to apologize for enjoying studying, for being the worst kind of nerd. I took my lumps (like most of you) in high school and I am over it.
So, what you will find in this space are pretentious books and big words. I may name drop a few of my favourite thinkers. I *hope* you will find superb grammar and impeccable punctuation. I expect you will find these things here not because I want people to think I am a smart guy, but because I am an adult who really loves learning. I believe, as I hope you do, that by engaging with challenging theory we can enrich our practice as aspiring educators.
