in Introduce Yourself
I know it's a diverse group here, and I'm curious to see if there are other teachers. I teach undergrad psychology myself, but with a twist: I teach online. I started out as an adjunct and now do it full time. I'm especially curious if there are other online instructors here at MFP, either college or grade school/high school. Some states, like Florida, are very aggressive in pushing online school all the way down to kindergarten, so there are more and more faculty members teaching right from their computers. I taught in the classroom years ago, but online is nice because it gives me a flexible schedule and therefore no excuse not to work out!

    Yay! So glad to see some fellow teachers on board. I often thought I'd like to teach the lower classes or middle school when I was first starting out in my career, but then I went the psychology route and eventually into corporate adult education. I love actually being in the world of academia now, even if I didn't get to start that until age 50.

    I'm a special education teacher. I work with students with severe behaviors and autism. :smile:
    I'm likely starting a M.Ed. program with an emphasis in educational technology, so maybe one day I'll teach online.

    Nice to see so many teachers on here!

    I'm an adjunct college teacher (tech school), have been since 2001. Online, blended, in the classroom. I was all online, now I'm mostly classroom and blended. Looking to go back online--have you heard of anyone hiring for tech and society, success strategies, human relations?

    Nice to meet you, glad to find "my kind". I'm in Colorado, looking to lose 50+ pounds and feel healthier.
