Online teaching adds geographical independence and a big dose of entrepreneurship to the life of a teacher. I've found that to be a very good thing.
As an instructor and program advisor for the University of Wisconsin-Stout's Online Teaching Graduate Certificate Program I teach online classes every semester. Another very important part of my job is helping people find work.
I try to keep our students informed of new jobs as I find them. However, every time I search I find thousands of online teaching jobs. I can't republish them all but I do have an archive of online teaching e-Jobs on my Scoop.it ELearning page.
The best thing you can do is learn to search for the e-Job you want. Let me show you where you can find those job leads for yourself. (Don't miss the RSS feeds highlighting e-jobs found in the right hand column of this blog.)
I'm convinced, that at this very moment, the perfect online teaching job is waiting for any talented teacher with the right combination of subject matter skills, elearning training and professional networking.
