Online educators, also called online teachers, provide instruction to students through website portals or live streaming instead of in a classroom. Their specific job duties vary, depending on the type of organization they work for, the grade they teach, and their specialty. But the general job of online educators is similar to classroom teachers; they find ways to engage students through interesting lesson plans, assign and grade class work and homework, and administer tests. Some online educators focus on one particular course or subject at a time, while others may offer a variety of classes at different times during the week.
