Haunting Comforts of Teaching Haunting Comforts

Diving into E-Learning with Sarah

Shifting back into teaching in person from a year of teaching online has been a struggle, and marrying the two experiences has been quite an experience.

How has teaching online shaped our perspectives on technology now that we are back teaching in-person? What was the biggest challenge of teaching online? What role do you see in technology for the future of education? Sarah and I sit down and explore these questions.

Don't take things personally. Ignore your emotions. This is how you survive in the teaching world. Or that's what I've been told.
