Greetings fellow nerds! Our passions may now have achieved mainstream acceptance, but I refuse to give up a label that so signifies my 80's and 90's trauma.
Anyway, the box is reopening but unfortunately for a completely different reason, so feel free to unsubscribe should this pop up on your feed but you are welcome to stay if you find something of interest.
As you are no doubt already aware, I finally achieved my degree!
I am the proud recipient of a piece of paper authorised by the University of Hull that claims I obtained an upper second class honours degree in Education and Professional Development. Not that I will but I can now add BA(Hons) to my name!
I also came to the self-diagnosed opinion that my general weirdness can be attributed to being on the autistic spectrum, who would have thought giving a neurodivergent with well-established masking techniques access to unfettered academic research would produce genuine mental improvements... unsurprisingly I'm fully off the meds and depression is now a minor annoyance instead of a crippling disability.
On a professional front, to say my knowledge of blended learning, both as an educator and educatee, increased exponentially during the pandemic would be an understatement but it meant I got to buy physical books again!
The pile keeps growing, I'm currently reading Guy Claxton's On the Future of Teaching and cannot help drawing parallels between his arguments and those espouced by Benjamin Bloom in the 1950-70's.
More on that later.
For now, so long and thanks for all the fish.
