What are your tips for online teaching and/or working from home?

  • Plan well for the next day.
  • Be as creative and fun as you can during the lecture.
  • Look your best -dress fun, but still in a professional way.
  • The show must go on, even though classes are virtual.

Share a fun moment that happened while you have been teaching and/or working from home

I was pairing my Air pods with my device. I joined my class with my PowerPoint on the screen, but there was no sound. I checked the settings of my Air pods, yet there was still no sound! I reset my settings for the third time and went back to my class with the PowerPoint presentation, thinking they had been discussing the presentation during this time, but then I heard a voice of the Instructor saying, “Welcome back class, I hope you had a good break!”
