Re: Where do I start?

I haven't heard anything about K-6 on-line teaching, but I
cannot say it doesn't exist somewhere. My nephew graduated from
an on-line high school because his family was living overseas
where there was no good options for him.

Perhaps you can teach community college courses or "for profit"
courses on line. You have an MS degree which should get your
foot in the door many places. I suppose there are a lot of
people trying to do the same, but look around and try to
package yourself.

You won't always find listed job openings. Look for programs
and for courses you think you could teach and apply anyway.

Good luck!
