In this episode I talked to Nikki about how she heard about VIPKid, balancing teaching and family life, and also a few tips for how to keep the attention of students in an online class environment.
How long are the classes? Who creates the lesson plans? Can I control my own schedule? All of these questions and more are answered in this "day in the life" episode.
It's not always as easy as it sounds to follow your dreams in life. This episode talks about how you can start the process by first identifying your dream and then taking steps towards following it.
In this episode I dive deeper into who I'm trying to reach through this podcast and I also talk about what it means to be an online student in this day and age.

About Extra Credit with Teacher Michael
From the publisher's feed
A podcast about the world of online education.
I've created this podcast as a way to share stories & learn from people who are using today's technology to teach things online.
Some of my guests are like me, teaching English to students in China with companies like VIPKid, GoGoKid, Magic Ears etc. and some create educational resources on platforms like Teachers Pay Teachers or YouTube.
The thing we all have in common is that we're using the internet to reach beyond the traditional classroom to share our ideas and expertise with the world.
If that sounds interesting to you, welcome because you're in the right place!
