Book Reviews of Make Money Teaching Online: How to Land Your First Academic Job, Build Credibility, and Earn a Six-Figure Salary
Book Review: Great book for potential instructors
Summary: 5 Stars
I received my book last week, and I read it cover-to-cover -- it provides very solid advice and information for potential and current online instructors. I learned many tips on how to build a career in online teaching. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is interested in teaching online, or who is already teaching line (and wants to build more of a business approach to teaching). I highly anticipated this book before it came out, and I was very pleased with it after receiving it. The real world experience that the authors have is reflective in the book. It provides the ins and outs of this growing career field.Book Review: Excellent Pre-read for Adjunct Career
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to get into online-adjunct teaching. I especially enjoyed the section on required software and technology in order to aid new teachers with teaching online. It is written in a candid voice and includes examples to get anyone headed in the right direction!Book Review: The one book you MUST have to teach online!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book provides the basic step-by-step outline of what you need to do to start teaching online. I got my first online position after following the steps outlined in a matter of a few weeks! Everything you want and need to know - and more - is included in Make Money Teaching Online. I recommend it highly, particularly if you don't have a doctorate! Yes, the book even describes what you can do with a Master's or even a Bachelor's Degree to teach online. If you are looking for an online teaching guide, this is the one to have!Book Review: A One-of-a-Kind, Must-Read
Summary: 5 Stars
As a current student of an online advanced-degree program, who is considering teaching in the growing online educational industry, I highly recommend "Make Money Teaching Online." It is one of those rare reference (how-to) books that is actually compelling and provides helpful insights in every chapter (note: I found that skipping around by chapter and segments provides information but reading the book in totality really maximizes the overall experience). The authors both have doctoral degrees and solid histories of teaching online, but unlike typical research work, the book includes their personal insights and stories which make the information easy to understand and retain, in a one-on-one coaching style.
This is an excellent book for those interested in teaching online and even for those considering enrolling in a school with online degrees (as it provides a clear, inside perspective of the online education industry). From its initial information on the credibility of online schools, to its step-by-step job hunting directions, to what to expect in benefits and compensation, down to its "Must-Have Technologies" chapter, this book has been thoughtfully and meticulously written. I appreciate that it is not a glossy motivational book but one that is seemingly grounded in reality and honesty.
My only question was why these authors have so generously given of their experience and information which will only increase the competition...my peers who have had classes facilitated by Dr. Mirabella have said that he is extremely responsive and intensely focused on their learning, so I have to assume it is about the genuine passion to teach and help others (book royalties only go so far)...Whatever the reason for their book however, their enthusiasm and dedication make for a refreshing, must-read.
