This week I chat with the ever-popular "Sticker Teacher" Andrea Miller, known for her viral classroom content and sticker-based student motivation. Andrea shares her journey from middle school math teacher to content creator with millions of followers, and how her love of stickers has transformed classroom behavior and engagement. We dive into the fun, the awkwardness of being recognized at VidCon, and the power of using stickers as an extrinsic motivator in education. Get ready for an insightful conversation filled with laughter, classroom tips, and a behind-the-scenes look at teacher fame in the social media age.
