TEACHING FROM HOME: A Day in the Life (My Routine, Virtual Lessons) VLOG

Hi Teachers! Today I decided to share a DAY IN THE LIFE of teaching from home. Remote Teaching can be tricky, but I am happy to say that I have finally found a routine that works for me. I hope you enjoy finding out about my teaching from home routine, as well as how I organise my virtual lessons and classwork. Remote teaching can be difficult, but as primary school teachers we are used to adapting - I know we can adapt to make the most of this situation too, for our children/ students. Keep up the amazing work, Teachers!

- My name is Katie and I am from Manchester, UK. I have been teaching both in the UK and internationally for over 7 years. I hope to be able to help others through my video content.

This channel has been very encouraging for me. I honestly felt skeptical about starting a primary education degree; but this channel has definitely reassured me that what I’m doing is right. Thank you so much for your lovely content, it’s a true eye opener 💕

Love this video! It’s so nice to see your daily life - and your hobbies and how you unwind/switching off! You always give off positive vibes 🥰✨

[AliceSaintt]

This is such a motivating video at such a strange time for teachers! Thank you! Xx

[jaynemarie]

Lovely video. I'm a bit late to discovering it, but I'm from Preston and am an online Tutor - pre and post pandemic

[travelingteacher]

You are so organised and motivated! I spend half my morning in bed checking my emails...

[gloriaboateng]

I love this, currently a teacher trainee, have my own class (we’re using google classroom) and I’m finding it hard to have a regular routine but watching this video helped. Hopefully I’ll have a more productive week this week:)

[nmiles]

Another great video, Katie. You have a slightly different day to day than I do but always good to see what other teachers are up to. Thanks

[TeacherTips]

Great to see how you are adapting. I'm a current primary school teacher too. At the moment, teachers are on a rota and have to pop into school every 2 weeks. When at home, we are creating home learning grids for the children and doing online lessons. It's been interesting.... haha. Love the videos :)

Hey! I'm a science NQT at a secondary school and am also teaching from home currently- I really can't wait to get back to work now! (Ps I just started a channel documenting my journey!) xx

I'm TEFLing in Shenzhen (we're practically neighbours lol). We've been doing online classes for over 3 months and I am so sick of it, I've been here since October so I've actually been teaching online for longer than I was teaching in person which is a little depressing. I'm definitely not getting out as much these days and I don't think that's been good for either my physical or mental health but things are much better here than they are back in the UK so I can't really complain too much. Schools are reopening here so hopefully my private tuition centre will be able to soon, I can't wait to get back in a physical classroom and be around my colleagues and students again!
Also I wanted to let you know that I watched your video about teaching abroad about a year ago which led me to looking into TEFL and coming to China so I should really thank you for that! Not sure I'd even be here if I hadn't watched that so yeah thanks haha

[MichelleGayScienceTeacher]

New to your channel! I enjoyed this video and look forward to more. Blessings!

Hello 4 Teachers! Great video! That’s certainly an interesting routine and one that isn’t too dissimilar to my own. Also, I watched to to end, and as regards a herbal tea recommendation: Green Tea all the way.

[nm-primaryteacher]

Great video. I haven’t been following you for long and so I didn’t realise you were based in Hong Kong. Thanks for sharing

[tompartington]

Great video!

My school has been closed since 20th March. Our learning platform (Century) wasn’t ready until the second week of lockdown though.

My routine is ticking along nicely now but is very different to what I’m seeing others doing. I do teach nursery though so it’s expected.

[mrdemocracy]

All very nice staying at home and getting full pay and looking forward to the summer holidays
Lot of eating going on.

Loved this video. It is so important to have a routine in the current situation, this is something that I have struggled with since my PGDE course ended early in March. Hopefully by the time I get my own class in August things will be a bit better. I would drink green tea with lemon or green tea with mint when I was on placements :)

Thanks for sharing this, it was awesome to see! One question, if students need help during the day, how do they contact you? We have an open Zoom for maths and english and have called it a 'help desk'- the kids are really liking it! But it means, we are planning for the next day after school hours quite often as there isn't much time during the day! We've been at it almost 6 weeks now! But heading back to school slowly each week. Im in Australia :).

Hi.
I'm Ronei, from Brazil. I teach English to middle schoolers. We've been working from home since mid March and I have to confess: it's been tough!
We have several limitations here. Many students have restricted access to the internet and some of them have none. We've been only sending them activities through Whatsapp and receiving pictures of their activities through the same app.
Brazil is doing poorly in regards to the pandemic (more than 136, 000 deaths and still counting) and the governors now have the nerve to say that we will be returning to classroom next month. Unbelievable!
