There’s bound to be a ghost at the back of your closet no matter where you live.
Greetings from a place that isn’t Gettysburg again! The 2017 cohort has given the 2016 cohort a much deserved break from our nonsense and taken it to Ursinus College for the PCLA Digital Learning Conference! The college was kind enough to stash us in a couple of houses for the two nights we’re here, so it’s me, Emma, and Christina vs. the adults we brought along in the other house. Mind you this place might be a little old, and with all old houses they tend to make weird noises. Emma and Christina are a bit spooked, but frankly with what Ursinus hooked me up with, weird noises don’t freak me out and I’ve had WAY creepier stuff happen. If a ghost comes, let them come at me because you bet I’ll fight them and probably win. Ghosts aren’t high on my list of fears… otherwise that would make going to Gettysburg a little awkward.
Besides, I’m sleeping in a former dining room with a pretty dope bay window, and the lighting makes me happy because I, the second most extra person in the overall cohort, can do my makeup and take cute selfies. Priorities, right?
Obviously we’re not here to only appreciate the accommodations, but I’m excited to meet more DH scholars and learn more about DH overall. It’ll be fun to hear different perspectives on definitions of DH, and also hear more about other digital tools I might be able to use to put my project together. Maybe it’ll help me like Scalar more! We’ll find out!
