CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO AN ONLINE TEACHING CAREER

In our fast-growing world today, technology is becoming a hot cake for every profession to explore. Millions of computer experts tirelessly work to create ways for everyone to use the internet and computer in their various jobs.

Really?

That is correct. In the modern style of teaching, you are no longer required to appear in the same physical location as your learners. Oddly, staying at different locations increases your chances of teaching better. It increases your chances of earning better, and it raises the number of students you can have at a single time to the whole world. Hey, the world isn’t coming to your class, but at the least, you are sure that you can teach millions in a class without making an extra effort. You will also have access to a wide range of students from every part of
