TRANSCRIPT:

Hello there, and welcome back to the cyber coffee talk podcast. I'm Heather Monthie, your host for this podcast. So today's episode is the second part of the series that I am doing on how to become an information security it technology educator. I spent many years in education answered a lot of questions over the years. So here I am answering them for you here on the podcast, my YouTube channel, my blog, etc. So in today's episode, we're going to talk a little bit about what are the online teaching opportunities for it and information security professionals enjoy. So what are some opportunities for it and information security professionals to teach online.

So in this video, I'm going to share with you a couple of different ways that if you're interested in learning how you can become an online it instructor or professor, I'm gonna give you a couple different ways that you can start taking some steps today. So the first thing I always think that you should do, if you are interested in becoming an online instructor is really sit down and think about what it is that you really know how to do, and you know how to do well.

So you have to remember that if you're going to go teach in an undergraduate program, you're going to go teach in a vocational program, you're teaching students who have never done some of these things before. So you need to know how to do it well and be able to answer a lot of different types of questions.

Sometimes as you progress up in your career, you start to forget some of those things that you used to have to do when you were you know, sort of a newbie in your profession. So if you are a software developer, and you're leading your technical teams, and you're you're you're, you're doing a lot of project management, that kind of stuff, it might have been a while since you've done some very basic programming concepts.

So you want to sit down and really think about what it is that you can teach. And you can teach it really well right now if you could sit down and talk about it for an hour to two hours just off the top of your head. And the reason I say this is because oftentimes when people are new to teaching it, people are new to teaching, you know, data science professionals, etc, are new to teaching, you're very smart, you're very intelligent person and you want to come across as being smart, intelligent, you want to be able to answer all your students questions.
