When I quit my face-to-face teaching job to stay home and solely teach online, I just knew that things around this house were going to change.

You know those moments when you do something so not-so-brilliant that they’re hilarious or even awe-inspiring? Let’s not call them mistakes. They’re our Moments of Genius!
