How do you set up online teaching courses and what service do you recommend?
Answered by:
I utilize Groupworld.net. It is an online "classroom" with a full Smartboard. My students and I see and talk to each other in real time, and with a tablet, I can write on the board and upload documents, share my screen, etc. I have been using in my business since June 2019, and I am very satisfied with it. The customer service has been stellar whenever I've had questions. You should really check it out!

What is the cost? How do I download it? Do my students also need to download it?

I was referred to Groupworld via an online Math Coaching group I am part of, and I think I got a discounted price because of that. I paid $240 for a year's subscription. I don't know what the regular price would be. And the students don't download anything. They just click on the link I send to them and it takes them into the classroom online. They do need a computer with a camera and speakers built in. As well, though not 100% essential to working together, if the students have a tablet to use with their computers, that allows them to write on the board from their end. I have a tablet on my end, so if the student doesn't have one, I do all the writing. I just have them tell me what they would want to write, and we go from there. All of my students have told me that their experience with me online feels almost exactly the same as having me sit beside them in person.
