		<description>Very interesting piece about online education.  The technology is at the point where possibilities have opened up, even if there is still some hassle.  Not much has changed since you wrote the article in 2007, I think.  I wonder if 2008 or 2009 will see the market take off.</description>

		<description>Hey Chris B,

I hope Teacher James got you laughing in a good way! :-)

I run Teacherjames.com, and we seem to have good feedback from teachers who teach on our site. 

The idea is to teach or tutor like a social network. Teachers and students register for profiles, and then can search for each other through search engines (based on usual education stuff like college background, English specialty, experience, etc.). Teacher profile pages has information necessary for a student to make a decision without actually having to interview that teacher. 

Once they&#039;ve found the right teacher, they message the teacher for classes. Teacher and student agree on rate, type of class, class time/length, etc. 

Teacher schedules a class with student in our site, and we handle all the billing from student to teacher (student pays with Paypal or CC).

Then, at class time, they can use our e-English classroom (like a web conferencing room with whiteboard, video conferencing, etc.) to have the session.

After it&#039;s over, the session is recorded and stored for the student view and review at any time.

There are other features to Teacherjames.com (like free Language Exchange classes), but that&#039;s the main gist. It&#039;s like a big &quot;private tutoring&quot; marketplace where teachers and students can find each other without having to search newspapers, ask friends, etc. to find a tutor. 


Hope to see you on our site!

		<description>My style of teaching would never work in that medium :(
I like the interaction to be honest. But a very interesting post.
Teacher James got me laughing a bit.</description>
