Overview Online Education The (my) beginning For-Profit Schools (and my work for them) (Specifically) Latin Options Benefits / Advantages (and The Opposite) of Teaching Online Bringing Online Approaches to Your Own Classroom
Starting at the Beginning: TEC Online Academy “Established in 2009, the TEC Online Academy provides students in grades 6-12 with a selection of unique and innovative college preparatory, honors and AP courses, each developed and taught by exemplary teachers from the TEC member districts. These online courses mirror the rigorous high standards and expectations of in-district daily classroom instruction.”

So you want to teach online…? (full-time)
Next Steps - Do you want a job? - Do you want to bring your face-to- face classes (more) online?
Advantages - flexibility with time (either for family or financial reasons; more on financial below) - better / different relationships with students - data / concrete information about student progress
Disadvantages - probably a pay cut (but can bundle?) - tied to your computer - lack of control over curriculum - integrity of curriculum? - cheating / academic integrity
Impediments - experience? - technological acumen? - certification?
Going Online with Your Own Courses - LMS / CMS - Paperless - Automated Grading - Efficient non-Automated Grading - Publicly Available Notes
