Flower Darby shares about being a joyful online teacher on episode 620 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

If you’re not a meme person, don’t do that. Something that isn’t authentic to your personality is not going to be effective.

Sometimes you don’t need all the latest bells and whistles; you don’t need the latest iPhone. We can be effective with simpler tools.
-Flower Darby

We can’t be joyful if we’re always working.
