On Ever Educating, Erika Romero shares teaching tips, tools, ideas, and resources, along with edtech tutorials.
Hello Viewer,
I started this channel so I could post teaching-related content, as well as productivity/planning tips. At this point, most videos are about teaching or instructional design. FYI: I also have a blog.
I know many grad students have assistantships that require them to teach courses without much training/mentorship. If you're in this situation, this channel is intended to help you learn about activity ideas, assessment strategies, tools to use, & more. I've organized my videos into playlists to make it easy to find the help you need. There's also a playlist for my grad student advice, too!
If you're not a grad student but still new to teaching college courses, I hope my videos help on your higher ed teaching journey.

How to Pace Your Asynchronous Course
How to Pace Your Asynchronous Course
This video is based on a request I received to discuss the best approach to opening modules in a fully asynchronous online course. The viewer also asked for my thoughts on what content to include in a given week. Were a few short slideshows enough? Or should something else be added? I discuss both these topics in this video.

Hello!! Do you have any videos/ ideas on how to help my students make their literary analysis less vague??? I struggle with that a lot, since they are highschoolers. Greetings from México 😊
Here's a video about assigning a paper outline to help your students with their writing: ruclips.net/video/8W3MllxO8Nw/видео.html
Thanks for the tips
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE AMAZING CONTENT ON YOUR CHANNEL.
I am starting my second year of teaching higher ed this fall after retiring from teaching elementary school for 35 years last year. Thanks for the helpful information!
Hi Erika, Thanks for your video. I would really like to try these icebreakers - can you do a walk through for scattegories and wikipedia please?
Here's my icebreakers playlist for more ideas! ruclips.net/video/FgGp0M0V4dA/видео.html
This is a beautiful-looking website. I would like some advice or consultation regarding designing my own website related to mechanical engineering. The end goal is to improve my chances of securing a Lecturer position because an Assistant Professor position is well out of reach at this point probably.
I would recommend researching various website hosting options and seeing what you think might work best for you from an ease of use perspective and a financial perspective. For example, I decided on WordPress (since so many website are built using it) and went for the paid self-hosting route. But there's also a free WordPress option, as well. [I talk about that option in this video: ruclips.net/video/XQ9ZoY4s0I4/видео.html.] It took me some time to learn how to create my WordPress site, but all I needed was time and online tutorials. I do offer a consult call service, if you want to discuss this 1:1: www.evereducating.com/creative-confidence-calls/. Best of luck!
@@EverEducating Thank you. I'll definitely look into this and get back to you if I need further help.
If you are completely new to teaching, here's my successful start playlist that takes you through the course design process. There's a free workbook available! ruclips.net/p/PL_YC6ZMWyQ-yQnfH2CBNqZ8NxtoPfBDyu
I've been using CapCut on my PC to edit videos, and it's incredibly useful. The interface is user-friendly, and it offers a wide range of features that make video editing seamless and efficient. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to create high-quality videos with ease.
I loved your explanations. Was very didactically. Thank you. Would like to know what other AI or Tool you most use for education, to produce education material, ppt, and son on
Thanks for your comment! I'll keep searching for useful AI to share on my channel. In case you haven't seen it yet, here's a video about an AI to-do list making tool: ruclips.net/video/H49Hrxx8cvY/видео.html
I don't rubric grade, but I find many of many students are conditioned to rubrics. Sometimes it feels like some students don't know what to do if they don't have an itemized list of things to check off while working. It's troubling.
Yes, I wish holistic grading was more popular, though I know that can be difficult in situations were educators are unfortunately "teaching to the test" and feel stuck with rubric grading. And with online async courses, a lack of rubrics could also cause issues, since students might not have a strong grasp of the instructor's expectations. But for in-person college courses, where those two considerations don't apply, I feel that it's more beneficial for students to practice their critical thinking and listening skills when completing an assignment, rather than just following a strict rubric. Plus, allowing for creative interpretation and expression has its own rewards, as well.
What are the 5 mostly used software in learning design? Thnks
This will depend on the institution or company, but I would say Articulate 360 and Adobe Captivate (and the Adobe Creative Suite in general) are two very popular ones. Camtasia is very common for video creation.
Helpful video, thanks 🙏 I'm using it, it's making my learning process way more exciting
I'm so glad!
Volume is too low.
I'll make sure to double-check this in future videos. Thanks for the feedback!
I like you establish a vocabulary foundation for the class.
Here are a few other ideas for using Canva as an educator: ruclips.net/video/WNSuR61i1x4/видео.html
Let me know some topics that one can begin before actual teaching
Super clear! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing! To clarify, this information is coming directly from the sources uploaded in the notebook and from an ethics standpoint could be used in an an article, presentation, etc.?
Since the answers to your prompts will be influenced only by the sources you include in the notebook and what you have checked off for the AI to use when answering the prompt, you can easily figure out how to properly cite the sources in your article/presentation/etc. Of course, you'll want to double-check that the answers are correctly interpreting/synthesizing the source material, but the automatic creation of citations in the answers should help with that. I wouldn't suggest using the actual language of the answers in your research. It's more of a way to synthesize/summarize a lot of research material quickly so you can get a strong sense of the material without reading it from start to end.
I also have a video about creating a Chat GPT activity for your students: ruclips.net/video/bxWUX89Opvo/видео.html
Thank you
I like simple rubrics. My school uses Canvas LMS.
thank you, very helpful
Great tutorial, Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
God, the Lord Jesus Christ loves you! Restore your relationship with God by repenting of your sins and putting your faith in Jesus Christ, "... that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures..." (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
Erika, I see this is posted 4 years ago - wow! I teach math and use my iPad with Loom to make videos. I have an audio lag problem - what I am writing lags behind what I'm actually saying. Do you have a fix for this problem?
Hmm, I'm not sure this has an easy answer. My suggestion is to do some experimenting with the best place for your WiFi connection. Lag tends to be caused by poor WiFi connection, so you might find that recording in a certain room or part of your office or even a different location might decrease the lag or get rid of it entirely. If that doesn't work, then you might consider tweaking your teaching style to work with the lag. So, write out a portion of the lesson, then once it's on the screen, talk about what you just wrote. Then move on to the next section, etc. Good luck!
I need to complete research as part of my job. Where can I find researchers who want to collaborate?
This really depends on your specific situation. Your job might require you to look only to coworkers as your potential research partners. In that case, I suggest reaching out to your manager/advisor asking for their advice on finding collaborators. If your job is more flexible and you can pick any collaborator you want, then you might try finding online spaces where your field's researchers spend time (LinkedIn, Twitter, professional organization discussion forums or listservs, etc.) and place a call for collaborators. Best of luck!
How do I get them to watch. I’ve embedded bonus points in videos and they still don’t watch them.
This is a tough one! Bonus points are a great idea; sorry to hear it's not working with your students. If their answers to the questions are saved for you to review, then another option might be to express interest/pride/excitement over the answers. So, positively calling out students who are answering the questions to show them that you are paying attention to those answers and giving them chances to shine in front of their classmates if they take the time to answer the questions. You could also tell them when you plan on reviewing the student answers to the video questions. So, "Hey, I'll be reviewing X video this Thursday and will be adding the bonus points to Y assignment at that point. Make sure to get your answers in by noon if you want the chance for bonus points." The time limitation and reminder will hopefully inspire a bit more engagement.
great tutorial. I will be using this.
So glad it was helpful!
Your content is so helpful. Wish I had discovered you sooner.
That's so lovely to hear! Thank you!
Hey I really appreciate your content and effort !!
Thank you!
I love listening to your videos. I would love to subscribe on your podcast if you have. :)
Thank you! I don't have a podcast, but I so appreciate your support!
how to dowload the sakai?
Are you wanting to download a lesson page you create in Sakai?
Thank you teacher
Personally, I think the first R is the most important, as it’s the starting point of the whole process. Sure, you can receive feedback without requesting it, but taking the step to request feedback means you have power over the type of feedback you receive. So, that’s my answer to which R I think is most important. Though, of course, all five have value.
such a great video thank you. I also have a question, I am creating a program for people who want to learn English through books, literature and fairytales, but I am still having so problems making it happen, I still don't know if I should talk only about fairytales or maybe make it broad. How do you know how to create a good course for your students?
This program sounds amazing! Are you creating an online course through a tool like Teachable? Or will it be in person through a local library, college, etc.? I think there are two main approaches you can take. 1. Create a course using reading materials that you love, that you think will be valuable to people wanting to learn English through literature. Having created a course that really excites you, market it to your target audience and/or teach it at the in-person institution that you are teaching in. 2. Do audience research and create a themed course based on the results you receive. You might find that a fairytales-focused course is what excites your potential students. Or, perhaps they want to learn through short stories or a mix of genres. Once you have that information, build that course. I wish you the best in your endeavor. If you want to brainstorm 1:1, I have a consult call service, as well: www.evereducating.com/creative-confidence-calls/. Good luck!
I discovered your channel today. I realized that teachers need to watch your videos. Watching from the Philippines.
Welcome! I'm glad you are finding them helpful!
Thank you so much for this presentation. How I wish many people may watch it.
I saw that your RUclips videos are very lovely . You have enough of the videos but your video is not getting views because there is some problem with your videos. Your SEO score is very poor and you need optimization for better results.
Hello, thank you for this! Where can I acquire your MLA guide? Thank you!
Beans! I heard beans is the key to longevity
Great choice! I've added a bean salad as a staple to my diet! Just a mix of white beans or chickpeas, red beans, and corn. Add some spices, avocado, and/or hummus and it's the perfect side.
Your explanation and examples are very clear. Thank you for posting these videos
I'm so glad! Thanks for the feedback!
Can please you do one for school? For example saying whether it's better to use a ring-bound or regular notebook for history class or chemistry. I'm aware I'm a little late but hey, at least I asked 😅
I appreciate you asking! I'll add this suggestion to my list of video ideas.
it;s very difficult to follow, first of all you speak too fast and second you swallow half of your words that leaves us guessing what you were saying, :(
Hlo
I'm not sure if I missed it in the video, but where do you do these discussion forums for your students?
In the class learning management system (LMS). I created the discussion forums in that section of Canvas or Sakai's class website and then linked them to the week in which they were relevant.
Thx it's helpful 😊😊
