Back in the (virtual) Classroom…

Well, after a one week hiatus from LitGuides — dedicated to jumping back into the classroom — I’m excited to share a bunch of resources that I think might come in handy…
First, a little background on my week. After a much needed one year leave from teaching, I realized there were many, many things I enjoyed about my 15 years in the classroom. Engaging with students, facilitating those “light bulb” moments of enlightenment, and even editing student writing (surprisingly) top the short list of things I wanted to re-incorporate into my life. What I did not want to re-introduce was a crazy schedule, unhealthy amounts of stress, and the never-ending feeling that I wasn’t doing enough, giving enough, preparing enough, etc…
So, enter online teaching! As of a week ago, I am now teaching an entry level writing course at Axia College and tutoring through Tutor.com. I look forward to sharing my experience and passion for writing, without sacrificing the other wonderful areas of my life. I’ll keep everyone updated!
Next Monday I’ll discuss Tutor.com, but for today here is a great list of resources in the meantime:
