However, experience teaching at different levels (elem, mid / high) and multiple endorsements do seem important. Flexibility in where/how you can be assigned seems like a big deal in online teaching.
Good luck!

I received my grad certificate in online teaching for adults online through Boise State University. They also have a similar certificate available for k-12 teachers. It won't replace a particular state certification, but it can definitely make you stand out - takes between 6 months and 2 years, depending on how many credits you take at a time.
I worked at a college for a long time before they trusted me enough to kind of grandfather me in to teaching online. This was before I earned that certificate.

Our school is considering a partnership with Edified for a Spanish I class for eighth graders. I would love to hear from someone who teaches online courses with Edified.
I have, up to this point in my 3 year career, taught in a traditional public school classroom. Now I have an opportunity to teach at an online school, from a home office.
For those of you who have made this transition, how do you like teaching this way vs. a regular classroom? What are some of the pros and cons?

To answer your question, I found my online teaching position through PAReap ([link removed].
I would say that you find a cyber teaching position the same way you find any teaching position - use all regular job search "tools."
I have decided to accept the cyber position I was offerred for the coming school year, even though it means taking about a $10,000 hit in my salary (ouch!) The deciding factor for me was personal: my son (in middle school) is having difficulty in school, and I will be able to work from home, which will give me more flexibility to be available for him. (Pluse zero commuting time away from the family).
I am still looking for thoughts/comments from anyone who has made this transition...benefits? pitfalls? lessons learned?
Thanks, Jen

There are part time jobs with Connections that pay per student and there are full-time salary jobs. I make about $5000 less than I did teaching full-time at a brick and mortar school. I work from home so it's worth it. No gas, no money or clothes, etc. I work full-time. I love it. It's very different and the first year is HARD. But once you learn the system and everything, it's great. No class disruptions, dealing closely with the families is awesome. Good luck. It's a great place to work. I am not sure if the salary is based on experience or not. I am in TX as well and I hear we don't pay as well as many of the other CAs.
