Online Teaching Made Easy, Effective, and Fun
I love it when the faculty development courses I take during the summer not only help me to teach classes more effectively and understand more about technology, but also help me with what my friends have lovingly deemed my “side hustle” (a.k.a. writing, blogging, and working on the Happy Professor brand).
It seems everyone has a project, hobby, or business in addition to their 9 to 5 job these days, so here are some ideas to help your own project stand out (I know you have one), if you haven’t found these resources already.
For anyone who teaches online, uses Instagram for their business, has a personal website, and/or creates YouTube content for their own personal channel, the following tools can add an artistic yet professional touch to your own photos and videos.

You may have heard of many of these before (as I had), but I figured a reminder never hurts.
Happy teaching, learning, and “side hustling”!
