Vicki has a program called "The 10-Minute Teacher Show," where she interviews different innovative teachers around the nation. I listened to one in particular. This one would be very beneficial to many teachers. It is called "3 Teacher Money Making Opportunities Using Technology." It was a conversation with Jessica Gordon and she shares 3 ways teachers can make extra money during the summer:
1. Teachers Pay Teachers: Teachers can purchase your lesson plans, task cards, or ideas.
2. 51 Talk: which is a site that offers ESL tutoring through a program similar to Skype. They match you with a student from another country such as China, and you help them with their English Speaking Skills.
3. Patreon: This is similar to Teachers Pay Teachers, but instead of buying individual lesson plans and ideas from you, they'd purchase an all-access pass to your page and they'd be able to access to all resources that belongs to you that you choose to share on the site.
