I felt hugged by this keynote announcement for #OER17, but I was invited a long time ago!
I got a DM from Josie Fraser late August 2016. Her name was vaguely familiar* but I couldn’t place it. She was asking for my email, saying she might have something exciting to share. I checked her Twitter profile and responded to her DM. I was excited already. I had no idea (yet) what about. I’m kinda like that.
The email was not at all what I had been expecting. It was an invitation to keynote at the #OER17 conference in London, April 2017! I was…ecstatic! I have (as many people know) a lot of difficulty traveling for conferences. I need to constantly balance my family’s needs and circumstances if I choose to travel and the end result is often that I don’t. Something beautiful came out of this – Virtually Connecting. I love it. I love Rebecca and Autumm and our entire lovable and loving community. But I love meeting people in person much more.
