“What is up with that name?” Was that one of your thoughts when you saw the name of this blog? I know that I have had that thought when I have visited blogs. I wonder why the name was chosen. I also find myself wondering if the name works. Sometimes I might also be jealous because a blog’s name is so very cool. Tonight, I discovered that every time that I think these types of thoughts I am participating in literary onomastics, the study of names in writing.

When I say that I teach online, people have a lot of misconceptions. One of the largest misconceptions that I run into is that many people think that you don’t have to be a certified teacher to teach online. Online teachers are certified. This is a good thing. I use knowledge from my teaching classes every day. Pedagogy is a must in the online classroom. I can’t imagine trying to teach online without having a strong grasp of teaching philosophy and research. As a teacher, looking for a job can seem like an overwhelming task. Luckily, as a teacher, you are totally equipped to handle this large task. When giving students a large project, teachers often chunk the task into smaller, more manageable chunks. These chunks are less overwhelming and all lead to the end goal. This is how you need to approach the job hunt. Think about all of the tasks that will help you to get a job. Make a list of these tasks. Next, break down those tasks into smaller chunks. Keep breaking down the chunks until you have simplified the tasks as far as possible. |
