How to teach technical skills online. 

So in this video, I'm going to share with you a couple of different ways that you can teach technical skills online. I think a lot of times people think that when they are learning hands on skills, or they are teaching hands on skills, it can be very difficult to do online. 

And it while it is a little bit different than teaching some of these skills in person, many of these skills can absolutely be taught online, you just got to use a, you know, some of the technology that's available out there. And so what I wanted to do is just go over what some of the pieces of technology you can use to teach technical skills online. 

Now, this is not going to be for any sort of technical hands on training that needs to happen on a very expensive piece of equipment, for example. So if you have a piece of equipment that costs $10,000, and you want to give your students hands on training on said piece of equipment, and you may be able to give sort of informational online sessions to show students how to use the piece of equipment. 

But if you want to teach that sort of, you know, the hands on you having students have that opportunity to, to practice the technical skills, it's not necessarily going to work for you know, some of these things that do require some very expensive pieces of equipment, this is really going to be related to it skills, technology skills, coding skills, teaching social media, anything that really is done either online, or it can be done using either free or affordable software. 

So the first thing that, you know, when people are thinking about teaching online, they start thinking about Well, where is it that I'm going to put my course? Where is it that I'm going to put all of my information that I have prepared for my students? And your answer is going to be? It depends? The answer is always it depends. For every question that you guys ask. It's always It depends, right? But so what you can do is you can use online marketplaces, I've spoken about these before, you can use online marketplaces, where you know, people just put all of their courses, they've got a lot of information, a lot of different types of courses out there. Udemy is probably one of the more popular ones within the it in the technical world. And, you know, the thing is, with Udemy, couple different things, there's a lot of stuff out there, some is good, some not so good. But you as an instructor, if you put a course out on Udemy, you don't necessarily you don't get contact information of all all of your students. So you want to use Udemy strategically, you want to use it as a way that you can help bring draw students into you and your ecosystem and all the different other offerings that you have. And so you can use online marketplaces, they're absolutely a wonderful place to start out. They've got everything is hosted for you,
