It is sometimes (but not always) possible to use federal student aid funds (including Pell) to purchase a laptop.  Basically, your school will establishes "Cost of Attendance" (COA) for each of its students. That COA can include tuition, fees, books, supplies, housing, transportation, and...\n\n"a reasonable amount... for the documented rental or purchase of a personal computer that the student will use for study for the enrollment period." \n\nHowever, your school gets to decide whether to add this cost to your COA.  Then, if the amount of financial aid that you receive is in excess of what you owe to the school, you can use the remainder as you see fit.  \n\nThe problem you may encounter is that, because your school is online, they may not have much IN their cost of attendance besides tuition (probably not housing and transportation) and maybe books... You will probably need to specifically request that they add this cost to your COA (also called a "budget"). And if they don't want to, well, that's their prerogative.\n\nThis COA rule applied to student loans as well. Basically, you can't receive any type of financial aid in excess of your COA unless your school "okays" it. The only exception to this might be a private loan that the school doesn't know about (and most private lenders will require school certification for their loans).

First try looking for the product on ebay.  You can then look for education sites that sell software to students.  These can be alot cheaper this way.

There are technology grants running around all over out there.  You should have someone at the central office who can help you research grants.  It takes work, and it would belong to the school, but it is one way.  You would have to show how the computer would benefit your students.  The other way to get a cheap one is ebay, but remember, you get what you pay for.

I nearly went on an IT training course but decided against it due to high fees (hundreds of pounds) for a Sybex book and "online support". Ask the British Computer Society. You'd probably be better off with more recognised organisations like your local university or your library.

The greater availability of low-cost pcs will change the way computers are used in school for one simple reason.  They will be widely used in schools.  It is amazing that basic computer skills are still not taught in most american schools, but it is also try throughout the world.  Some guy at MIT is on the verge of mass producing a laptop that will cost about $100 per unit and will be distributed worldwide to schools.  This will allow people in the poorest areas of the world to have access to encyclopedia and other reference books that would otherwise never be available to them.  These machines will also be distinctively designed so as to reduce their value on the black market, because people will know they were stolen from school children.  The quality of education will increase dramatically and all of society will benefit as a result.

Of course, if you want to pay Dreamweaver or FrontPage are big contenders. If you want something open source, try:\nhttp://www.nvu.com/

probably the same way a offline system works.... i don't have debt YET so i can't really answer... but depending on the size of the project, i wouls assume an online system would be a server, maybe SSL, a database, a team of people to input data, and then a way for you to manipulate the data to the debtor.???

I know of a service -  www.ClickForLessons.com - it has worked GREAT for me, and they only charge when they actually send you a student... none of this paying for what I might get!  Its really almost like a proffesional myspace geared twoards teachers in of dance and music and acting and some other stuff I think... anyway give it a try

I have had so-so experiences. I am currently teaching undergraduates online and the pay is around 1300 for a nine week class that is capped at 20 students. At my school you can teach up to six classes at once. They pay you 66% of your pay in the beginning and the final 33% at the end after you have turned in grades. I am teaching people who are adult learners who have not been in school for a while. So at times it gets very frustrating. The biggest issue that I had was with plagiarism. I taught two classes recently and it ended up being around 20 hours per week on the computer doing work. Some places to go are the University of Phoenix Online, Kaplan University or Axia College which has been bought by UOP online. I think that if you are retired then you would be perfect for an online teacher position. I was working two jobs and trying to teach at the same time and it was rough for me. In addition, I am in an online MBA program. I hope this helps you out!

Implement a token economy!\n\nThis is heaps of fun - instead of giving verbal rewards or stickers or certificates for work, hand out paper money instead. Have students pay for routine things like using the computer or borrowing a book and then have a market day where students can spend their "money" on whatever they want.

The first step is to think through what you mean by "online tutoring business" and how you intend to implement it.\n\nWill this mean creating your own website where students can log in and ask you questions about their assignments? Will your responses be made public or will it be in a secured website where only you and the student know your discussions? \n\nAre you thinking of something like the services offered by SmartThinking http://www.smartthinking.com or GoMath http://www.gomath.com? If so, do you have the technical capability to create this type of website, or if not, do you have the resources to hire a web designer/programmer?\n\nAre you thinking of using IM in your tutoring? You can forego the website and simply use IM as a tool for tutoring your clients?\n\nOr are you thinking of the traditional type of tutorial service where clients go to the house of the tutor to be taught? If so, you need to think of insurance considerations with clients coming to your house to make sure that you are protected when something untoward happens when your customer is in your home.
