Kena Tangi-Dorsey

She was terrified on camera...

I was anxious when being filmed, even for family purposes. We have no video with my family where I speak. It proved to be a huge obstacle for creating my online teaching business if I’m terrified of speaking to the camera and filming my online classes.  Yet here I am speaking to you in a language, which is not even my mother tongue. 

Create workshops without high-end gear.

I had no technical background with any sort of video production so I needed help with what equipment to buy. I took the time to sit down and say, OK I don’t need the high-end stuff right now, I can start with the low-end and work my way up.

The bottom line is that Virtual Teaching is here to stay. Students need to have workshops worth their time and their money. The Academy helps teachers to give QUALITY online workshops.I've moved forward to enhance my virtual teaching, alongside a supportive community.

If you could do it on your own, your workshop would already be online.

You think nobody will ever watch your workshop because your are awkward on camera.

  • That is categorically untrue. They want the creativity and joy you can give them and connect even better with the real you.

Trading time for low paying hours of live teaching isn't sustainable.

  •  With virtual teaching you can connect with so many more students, AND you get your creative time back.

You think equipment and technology are too complicated.

  • Let's make it as simple as possible. If you can use a phone, you can teach online.

You are limited by caregiving or health issues and can't travel to your students.

  • Virtual teaching works on YOUR schedule.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

You’ll learn how to take your in-person workshops and successfully translate them to online courses. We’ll cover: What resources you need to teach live on Zoom and/or create on-demand courses. How to structure your lessons so students stay engaged. A step-by-step audit of your current equipment, tech, and skills—so you can see just how close you already are to getting started!

This is a live, interactive Zoom workshop with three working sessions. That means you’ll not only learn but also take action during the sessions. You’ll have worksheets, planners, and clear steps to move forward so that by the end, you’ll have a real plan for your online teaching.

You only need a phone, and a clear plan! You’ll be surprised at how much you can do with what you already have. And if you can teach the amazing art or craft your create? You can definitely learn minimal tech. Think about it, what would you tell one of YOUR students who said "I'm terrible at this"?

You don’t have to be perfect—your students want you, not a polished production. What you have to offer will make their lives more creative, better, easier and happier. Don' teeny them that gift!

All sessions will be recorded, and replays will be available. However, attending live gives you the opportunity to ask questions, get real-time feedback, and make progress alongside others. And.... GIVEAWAYS!!!!
