The first morning of the PCLA Digital Learning Conference, groups of Digital Scholars from Gettysburg, Muhlenberg, and Ursinus gathered to eat breakfast and wake up. To get to know the other groups and what work everyone was doing, we were asked to make “spirit memes”. After that, everyone was wide awake, trying to think of puns while waking up with coffee. These are some of the results:
Now, these are by no means an exhaustive analysis of all the programs. They are a snippet of information communicated comedically, created in five minutes at 9 AM. They did not need to be. The use of memes (and the puns and hashtags to come out of this exercise) set the tone for the conference. It allowed us to have more meaningful communication by breaking the ice. Because of this, we were able to bond and make connections, as Britt pointed out earlier.
It also gave me a chance to talk about memes.

Special thanks to RC for his impeccable meme ability.
I do love the memes.
