What's it all about

During lockdown amazing teachers the world over are teaching online using Zoom. This is not an amazing English teacher and this is how not to do it!

This video is has been specifically produced for the Comedy Crowd TV 2020 Showcase. Its sole aim is to generate empathy and mirth.

The video contains a snippet of the spoken word poem 21st Century Language Teacher's Lament.
21st Century Language Teacher's Lament is part of a wider collection of irreverent poetry for academic purposes. I'm currently developing this collection of spoken word poetry into a set of multimedia Teaching & Learning resources which may be of benefit to society if distance learning becomes the new normal.

Disclaimer:
None of the poems contain such terrible clichés as "the new normal".

Any donations are gratefully received and along with any prize money will go towards the creation of The Alternative Guide to Teaching Online. Which I will make freely available, erm, online.
