Could You Teach Online?

More and more teachers are finding work on the web. Are you next?

By Caralee Adams | May/June 2009
“Melissa Baker, an eighth-grade English teacher in Sandpoint, Idaho, was looking to make some extra money over the summer when she saw a flyer about teaching online. Although admittedly not a computer whiz, she was intrigued. To prepare herself for the challenge, she took some courses with the Idaho Digital Learning Academy (IDLA). Now she has been teaching online for the past four years, conducting classes in English, geography, and economics. She does this part time—for about an hour each evening—in addition to her full-time job at Sandpoint Middle School.”

Live Webcast: Benefits of SaaS-enabled Email

Overview:

Email is indisputably the most important business application for most organizations. Yet, managing it has always been a no-win proposition. Add the pressure of fewer people and resources as well as shrinking budgets these days, and it seems that the pain of managing email can only get worse. But don’t despair, there’s a new breed of managed SaaS-enabled email services that are modular, reliable, and secure for virtually any type of business. Join this live TechRepublic Webcast to explore the alternatives to traditional on-site email management.

This free event will show you how to:

* Effectively eliminate email downtime and reduce the risk of data loss

* Securely archive email with flexible retention and deletion policies

* Enjoy near-zero maintenance even while meeting the toughest enterprise class requirements
