TP Week 11 Discussion 1

When you consider the differences between teaching online and in person, what comes to mind? Teaching online in your pajamas? Being dressed in business attire in front of a classroom of students? Consider the personality requirements of teaching a class in person:  You will be required to do public speaking, be organized, and entertain the students while you teach them. What are the differences when teaching online?

For this Discussion, review and study this week’s Learning Resources. Then consider the differences between teaching online and in person. Think about what skills and dispositions are necessary for teaching online and in person. Finally, reflect on how well suited you might be for teaching in either an online or in-person setting.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 3 a brief description of the differences between the skills needed to teach online and those needed to teach in person. Finally, explain how well suited your skills and dispositions might be for teaching in either an online or in-person setting.

Be sure to support your post with specific references to the Learning Resources. If you are using additional articles, be sure to provide full, APA-formatted citations for your references.
