Our Purpose

Leapin’ Leap frogs! Why would a class at Illinois State University create a blog about people playing the childhood game of leap frog? In our Advanced Exposition class, we have been discussing global moments—those moments that are shared throughout a community, and even perhaps the whole world. They are the moments that prove to us that we are not so different after all. In class, we watched Matt Harding’s dancing videos. He went around the world and danced—anywhere and everywhere, at different locations, and others joined in the dancing. It was a remarkable sight! It made each of us feel like we all truly had things in common with everyone in the world. So, we decided to create our own version. We came up with ideas and decided upon the game of leap frog . We are using the blog to bring our ideas together and to show our own methods and experiences of leap frog. We are all unique yet we share the love of a childhood game. Here it is—our experiences and our own versions of our global moment. Feel free to contribute to our project with your own videos or pictures of leap frog by submitting them to Corey at leapfrog246@yahoo.com. Let’s leap frog!
