If you’ve been dreaming about standing up while you teach online—but you don’t want to drop $300–$400 on a fancy standing desk—this video is for you. I walk you through my super simple DIY stand-up desk setup that comes in at under about $35. I’m all about practical classroom upgrades that actually make teaching easier (and keep your energy up), and this is one of those changes that can make a big difference fast. In the video, I break it down in a clean, teacher-friendly way: what supplies you need, why this setup works, and the real-world pros and cons after using it for online teaching. I also talk through the kind of things teachers don’t think about until they’re in the middle of class—like stability, how much space you really need for your laptop and props, and whether it’s worth switching between sitting and standing during a teaching day. If you want a budget standing desk option that’s quick to build and easy to test out before committing to something expensive, this is exactly the kind of “try it today” solution I like to share.
