“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.”
