Whether you are teaching via live-stream on social media or through a video conference-calling service, investing in a personal website brings benefits for you and your students.

Scrolling in the right place at the right time with the proper preparation can make all the difference.
One day, I opened up my Facebook feed and saw a post:
Attention Bay Area Archaeologists, I need to hire a ceramic analysis assistant. Email me your resume.
I scrolled past it. Then I scrolled back up to reread the post.
The Bay Area.
I’d just moved there.
Archaeologists.
I specialized in archaeology as an undergrad.
Ceramic analysis.
