Driving Uber. Teaching is a labor of love, it doesn't pay. /s
And in the mean time prepare plans for lessons, answer questions, bringing resources for students use - they never were mostly or exclusively occupied by grading.
- olliej 6y agoThey’re not bringing resources - the classes are online. I haven’t encountered this platform before, but most textbooks now come with class plans for teachers (especially at university where they are used to kill off second hand book sales)
- avmich 6y ago> They’re not bringing resources - the classes are online. I mean, digital resources, bringing them ready to be used in class. Files have to be found, or better created from others by cutting and coupling, they have to be named, put in correct place for accessing. Even though the material sometimes doesn't change much form a year to another, it needs to be checked and adjusted for current class trajectory. Teaching is a hard intellectual work. Good teaching, that is.
- unishark 6y agoOnline classes aren't generally considered any easier to teach. And preparing them in the first place is often completely left to the teacher, who's entire workflow just got thrown out the window. And the materials provided with the textbook often suck, and require more work to use than creating your own from scratch.
