Are you a teacher embarking into the online world? If you are this might be for you. E-Teacher’s Academy is a new website founded by Kirsten Winkler. The difference with this one is that the teachers are the students. So what will E-Teacher’s Academy offer their teacher/students?

What is the E-Teachers Academy?

Empowering Teachers for Education 2.0

The E-Teachers Academy will offer a 360° program to their students including:

- Using Language Teaching Platforms 
- Virtual Classroom Training 
- Creating Lesson Material for Online Lessons 
- Methodology 
- Video Editing 
- Graphic Editing 
- Podcasting 
- Marketing 
- Creating Revenue Streams 
- Content Monetization 
- Product Development 
- Social Media 
- …

There will be monthly webinars by Founders, CEOs and Managers of the industry leaders giving the students a deeper inside of their platforms and products and how to use them.

The goal is to give the students a complete tool box and overview over the whole language market so that after one year they can decide which way to go. Found an own business, teach on platforms, develop a product, get certified, etc.

The other important question is how much will it cost?

What will it cost?

There will be a one time fee for one year. All the webinars, screencasts, videos, exercises and other content and material will be included in this fee.

The fee will be 49 Euro during the month of June 2009, from July 2009 onwards 99 Euro.

It’s great to see initiatives like this from teachers wanting to help other teachers, and I’m sure there is a lot to learn for us all. The fee of 49€ and then 99€  is I believe affordable for teachers looking for insight on what will be our future.

No not Athos, Porthos, and Aramis but Aniya, Kay and Kirsten making us The #teachertuesday team, you may have noticed the initials AKK on the teachertuesday Twitter page, so now you know what they stand for. From an idea of mine after the success of #followfriday I thought that it would be nice to congregate other teachers, educators and anyone else in the education sector, I mentioned this to both Kay and Kirsten who thought it was a great idea, they backed me up and Kay invented the blue owl logo and designed our website which collects all tweets from teachers, educators etc., allowing anyone to look up info regarding education and find it all in one place, we have had some great feedback from teachers and the idea is steadily growing. And so @teachertuesday was born a month ago now.

The idea of writing this post is to introduce my colleagues, Kay, the shy one, well he’s not really, but he’s that smart guy who gets on with his work and doesn’t like to be in the limelight, he’s a fantastic web designer and both Kirsten’s and my sites have his personal touch in them, I won’t say anymore about him in case he’s blushing . Kirsten on the other hand gets all the limelight lol, she possesses a lot of talent, from her teaching 3 languages to coaching too. Her newest venture is what looks to be a great investment for new and not so new online teachers E-Teacher’s Academy. The gates will open next week and you can also follow updates on Twitter, so don’t miss out! During the first month only subscription will be offered at a reduced price.

“All for one, and one for all!”
