Course Description

This course prepares teachers to teach lessons online. Participants learn strategies for successfully teaching online and have the opportunity to experience a course from the student's perspective. This allows them to understand the excitement and challenges that come with a new learning environment. Participants are required to complete readings, research assignments, and discussion postings. They learn to use the FCPS online courses to develop their online teaching skills and teach a lesson to their peers. Weekly virtual classroom sessions and discussions review characteristics of online teaching.
