I asked some of my friends to give me some feedback on this podcast and they did. I like getting feedback because it helps me improve. When teaching, a lot of the feedback that we get is informal. How are we getting feedback now, in this time of remote teaching?

Being Thursday, we had the meetup hosted by @callmemrmorris and @MstrJayWill. You should definitely check them out on Twitter (linked) and follow them for information on the next meetup. After listening in, I got to thinking about vulnerability. As the conversation went on, I started thinking about how the changing structures are affecting my mental health and well-being, the theme for today.

Connect with me on Twitter: @mrgtutors. We'll follow each other and wonder who's leading.

I'm thinking about work-life balance again, this time I'm thinking that it's important to separate yourself as a person from yourself as a teacher. It's important to make time for yourself and do the things that you enjoy and bring you calm. With that, it's important to not judge yourself against others.

My left eye has developed a twitch, which led me to think about how much time we've been seated in front of our screens lately. I think that it's having an effect on how we teach and learn, especially when we think about the length of our attention spans. Digital literacy is of utmost importance at a time like this; students walk a fine line between expressing themselves and communicating too much.

Adam Grant has a fantastic podcast called WorkLife by Adam Grant. In it, he shares interesting work cultures and what they are doing to be successful. I always thought that it would be interesting to translate some of these ideas into an educational setting. In one episode, he talks about the difference between integrators and segmentors. I think that this idea is especially important in our current working situation.
