Reviews
While I have a great deal of experience teaching online as do my colleagues, we are commonly asking ourselves if we are doing the right thing and if there is a better way to teach online. This book would help to answer some of the questions that our teachers have about teaching strategies as well as reaffirm some of the strategies that they already have in place. This book would be a huge asset to assist teachers in making the transition from the traditional classroom to the virtual classroom; I could easily develop the curriculum for the workshop around this book. This book is a must have for all new teachers looking to teach online. I would definitely highly recommend this to all new teachers; I would also highly recommend this for veteran online teachers as well. Bradley R. Mitchell, Training Coordinator, South Carolina Virtual School Program - SC Department of Ed, Columbia, South Carolina YES! I would recommend the book to teachers who are just beginning online instruction or those who are considering online as an option. I think it would be a great [resource] for university schools of education as part of their teacher preparation programs [as well]. -Elmer Seward, Supervisor of Instruction and Professional Development, Virtual Virginia, Norfolk, VA
