Name: Ms. Cat Latcovich
Courses Taught: AP United States History and AP European History
Location: Richmond, VA
Years Teaching: 10
Hidden Talent: Shopping - I can find a bargain anywhere.
Thoughts about online teaching and learning: Teachers and students can be intimated by online learning as it is quite different from the face to face classroom. However, online teachers can provide students with just as much, if not more, individualized instruction. I have also found that I can get to know students very well in online classes through our instant messaging, emails, and phone calls.

Advice for students taking online courses: Work on your time management skills. Don't wait until the day of a deadline to complete all of your work. Pacing the work out over how many days you have to complete it will help you better understand the material and leave you feeling less stressed.
