Following that, reach out to those hosts to ask if they’d advise you as you develop your own program.With virtual travel rapidly gaining steam in light of the coronavirus pandemic, home-sharing giant Airbnb has unveiled a suite of Online Experiences, allowing communities globally to continue immersing in handcrafted activities worldwide from the comfort of their homes. Select three experiences that resemble what you have in mind then register as a guest. “Think about why people might sign-up, then study the Online Experiences already offered to see which are the most popular. Jim’s advice to others interested in teaching their craft online is to do their research. “Because my book-making experience involves storytelling about the first children’s book published in California, I learned to put all the images into a folder then open them all on the desktop before initiating the Zoom session.” Using Zoom to teach his class has gone fairly well, particularly with the use of Apple AirPods to improve sound quality, though he did run into one challenge-learning how to share pictures with students. “Since then, they added so many experiences-and maybe because book-making isn’t top of mind for many folks-my offering has slipped beneath the waves.” “I was among the first Online Experiences hosts in the initial offering,” he says. The class replaces a fraction of his lost income as host to a home rental in Sonoma, California. Jim Silverman has taught his Airbnb Online Experience, Book-Making Fun for the Whole Family, a couple of dozen times. Parents book kids under their own names, and even if you set the minimum participation age at 12, they may book a 6-year-old.” She puts disclaimers on her welcome message and on the booking page regarding ages to participate and tries to figure out the guest’s information beforehand to help her prepare for teaching. “Also, you can’t trust the booking information. “Some kids will panic, while others are origami geniuses. “Kids’ skills, patience, and maturity have huge gaps even between children of the same age,” she explains. She also suggests offering a different program for kids, taking into consideration that kids coming from different cultures might approach a craft differently. So now I’m giving options with different difficulty levels so that guests can choose.”
“I used to offer one program, but some guests said it was too easy, while some couldn’t make the same items very well.
Before jumping into the pool of teaching an online craft class, Watanabe recommends catering your content to meet a variety of skill levels.
