I want to become a teacher what is the best way of doing it from online courses?
My husband is in the military so going to a uni or college is out of the question since we are moving around alot. Is there any way of getting a teachers certificate through online courses?
You will need to go to a school and do your fieldwork, tutoring and student teaching. There is ‘no all online programs’ for teaching because you do need to go to a school to get experience and fufill your requirements.
Do you know any Special Needs Teacher/Tutor online courses?

Are there any credible US online courses for teacher certification?
University of Phoenix is NOT credible.
Maybe I jsut mean already established State run schools.
Hey girl,
Call UofP and tell them you’re interested in their program. Give them your phone number. See how many times they call you even after you’ve told them many, MANY times you’re not interested in their school.
Drexel has a program. It is VERY pricey and is a post-BA teaching certificate. It is NOT a master’s program. A friend of mine is in the program. She loves it.

Will increasing number of online courses effect teachers in the future?
I am currently seeking a career in the teaching field, and I have noticed that the number of students taking online courses is increasing rapidly. How will this trend effect my education, and the future of teaching?
You will still teach much the same way as a regular class, just online. You will grade, give online lectures, but you will do it all from the computer.
Also, there is no way that online classes are going to totally kill normal classroom education anytime soon.
