Teacher Development: Starter Kit for Teaching Online. Imagine a work day spent at home in your slippers, teaching students without the headaches of monitoring who's chewing gum, who showed up late, or who's sending text messages in the back row. We've got to confess it sounds dreamy, if a bit far removed from the altruistic drive that probably got you into teaching in the first place. (Is that so wrong?) But shelve the guilt -- online teaching also serves much higher causes. The online teachers and administrators we've interviewed say it gives you the flexibility to tailor your pacing to the needs of individual students and to get to know your students better through a lot of one-on-one conversations. Teachers also get to use modern-day technology tools in everyday practice, not just as occasional add-ons, and they get to master a form of teaching that's likely to reach millions of new students each year in the United States and abroad.
