Teaching Online Courses: Strategies and Resources


Introduction:


I have been developing and teaching online courses for the last seven years and in a number of unique programs. The nature of teaching online, and the fact that you do not have to be in a physical space with the students you are teaching (for


some jobs), gives you the ability to take on multiple jobs working from home. As a result, I have taught courses for four different states...simultaneously. I have


taught blended learning and 100% online learning courses....on the same day. I have taught college, professional development courses to teachers, and high


school students from my couch and kitchen table. While there are many differences in teaching online, good teaching is still good teaching, so for the


most part you just have to adapt your skills and expand you toolbox. This short article will discuss some of the daily tools of an online teacher and a few of the


strategies for working with kids and adults online. Cory Plough
