While working on my internet autoethnography section on Virtually Connecting, I opened up my slides from Challenging Academic Gatekeeping, where I was supposed to pick tweets to include in my blogpost… and I got derailed by the emotions evoked by some of the photos I used in those slides. So I decided to a VC in pictures slideshow, and post it on my blog publicly, open for commenting. Would be happy to hear from others how they react
Images can take me immediately back to a moment far quicker than text. A lovely collection of memories Maha.
A bit more than year already! Time flies. Greetings to all from rainy Göttingen😊
Oh wow I love this 💕👀@Bali_Maha what a fab set of piccies and what a brilliantly clever way to trigger off memories and reflect on meaning … love this so much 🤗
Thank you so much for sharing here Maha. I have so many good friends in this community and I am every grateful for being included in this project.
mine is CC0!
I would like a copy of Simon’s pic though, happy moment for me 🙂
A screenshot blast from the past!:
What a fun memory!
I live the picture of the three on-site buddies holding laptops with the images of the 3 virtual buddies :). Ancient Greece and Muses come to mind when I see that photo
I ❤️ this slidedeck, Maha! it’s so evocative… reminding me of moments that I either experienced onsite or witnessed virtually, but all connect emotionally. I’m struck by all the *joy* in the photos 🙂 thanks for the memories & as @ken_bauer says, for all you do. @VConnecting
One of the things that strikes me as I look through this is the closeness, the smiles, and the connections that @VConnecting creates. Brava @Bali_Maha
One of my best VC memories too… I recall too us chatting as our laptop holders moved around. It shows what’s really possible when you don’t anticipate all of what’s possible
Wonderful, I am taking my time enjoying this slide deck. Thank you for all that you do Maha! I am so blessed to have met you through VConnecting.
I LOVED this post from @Ignatia ignatiawebs.blogspot.com/2015/05/try-ou… about @VConnecting and how even with Wifi trouble at @emoocssummit the conversation continued with @arasbozkurt showcasing his network graphs of the event hashtag on Twitter.
lovely @vconnecting memory with you all 🙂 @Czernie @WarwickLanguage @suebecks @rjhogue @Bali_Maha
I don’t think I took that one. Maybe it was @Profpatrice?
Thank you for sharing this. What an amazing #altc this was. So many experiences of meeting f2f for the first time!
Yes! Prehistoric Virtually Connecting 😂🤣
As always Maha you get us re-thinking! A good reminder to keep re-visiting past experiences to share with others and sense check progress where we have pledged to take somthing forward.
Time is illusional… It is unbelievable that it was in 2015. Maha, like a baby, VC was crawling and now it is running.
Remember that day like yesterday… It was a great experience…
