Episode 44: Mental Health and Online Teaching: My First Week Back

What a rollercoaster it’s been. I asked for your advice and boy, did you give it! Did I follow it? You bet I did! I also had a bunch of unanticipated feelings and experiences. Join me as I talk about the journey of my first week teaching online after a year’s unemployment and how I tried to navigate this alongside a personal event that affected my mental health. Can you relate?Language warning: I use a couple of naughty words.Language references:CCQs – Concept checking questions and ICQs = instruction checking questions.
