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 jobs
- ways that students could spend their classroom money
- ways 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.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
