Are You Having Fun Yet?

Abstract

In K-12 videoconferencing, we often allow the pressures and challenges of our jobs to interfere with being able to enjoy our work. In this chapter, I have recounted some of my own personal experiences that show that it is quite possible to love your job and to find humor and enjoyment in each day. By making your enthusiasm obvious, combining a variety of different disciplines into programming and making the most out of “technical difficulties”, you can become a more effective and believable content provider and learn to take real pleasure in creating a positive and unique experience for students through technology.
