I realized that it's pretty difficult to schedule podcast interviews when you have a new baby in the house with a somewhat unpredictable nap schedule, and I decided I wasn't going to cut into family time.
COURSES FOR TEACHERS I'VE BEEN CREATING
During the times the little one napped, I decided to create a new course called Create Successful Videos for Distance Learning.
It's a 1-hour self-paced course to help teachers who need to create video lessons but aren't sure where to start.
Additionally, I spent time making changes to my classroom economy. Since our school is completely remote until at least mid-October, I had to come up with
a whole new list of classroom jobsways that students could spend their classroom moneyways they could earn supplemental money.I've added all of those resources to my course How to Teach Kids About Money.
That two-hour course was originally created with a normal classroom environment in mind, but many of the things still apply to a virtual classroom economy.
PLACES I'M PUTTING OUT THE MOST CONTENT
Once I completed the courses, I decided to focus my efforts on my Instagram and YouTube channels.
On my Instagram channel, I've been posting stories each school day about how I'm approaching that day of distance learning, often sharing tech tips along the way.
On my YouTube channel, I've been creating videos all about distance learning technology and lesson ideas.
PUSHING PAUSE ON THE PODCAST
With all of that going on, something had to give so I decided to pause the podcast until further notice.

During my semester as a sub before becoming a full-time teacher, I had many a days of little to no sub plans. I also had a good handful of days of detailed and thorough sub plans. Days with the full set of sub plans were far better both for me and for the students and I've sought to provide subs in my own classroom with the same direction.
In today's episode I discuss:
exactly the level of detail I put into my plans (I read out a section of my own plans)how I format my plans so they're more readable and easier to referencehow I communicate with my students ahead of time in a way that the class could run even if a sub didn't show up (which has never happened but that's the ideal)my emergency sub plans for days I am unexpectedly outRESOURCES MENTIONED

In this Q&A show, we discuss:
What are the top three books that guide you in building a self-sustaining classroom culture?As a first year robotics teacher, do you compare one class with another as a way to motivate students? In Brazil, if one class is falling behind another, it's common to say 'the other class is already on the next topic.' Does this motivate students?If you're in a noisy classroom, how do you make sure you are heard without screaming?How do you deal with students that refuse to study for tests?Working at a private school, how much freedom do you have to experiment with different teaching practices compared to public school? And how can public school teachers begin to try new and innovative ways of teaching?Let me know how you like this format. It was a lot of fun for me to answer and much less editing!
