Hi everyone,

I'm curious if anyone here has any experience teaching online through chatrooms/webcams/agencies, etc?

I've read some interesting things on Karen Bond's site (http://www3.telus.net/linguisticsissues/CALLcontents.htm) and I am considering this as an option.

More specifically, does anyone have experience with teaching online as a new mom? I would still love to teach but I want to stay at home as much as possible.

Thanks

This was discussed recently. Try a search, you should find it.

Most online places require you to make your own material, so if you can do that, you'll be fine.
