find three different online schools that list the computer skills (not necessary hardware, but personal computer skills) that are necessary for online teaching. List the skills, and then rate yourself on each of them.

1.) Taylion Academy: The computer skills required are access to create and read files in .rtf, .pdf, .doc, .docx and the ability to create presentations using Power Point. Internet access is required and basic proficiency is computer functions is required. 
2.) Deer Valley Unified School District: The computer skills required are access to create and read files in .rtf, .pdf, .doc, .docx and the ability to create presentations using Power Point. Internet access is required and basic proficiency is computer functions is required. 
3.) K-12: The computer skills required are access to create and read files in .rtf, .pdf, .doc, .docx and the ability to create presentations using Power Point. Internet access is required and basic proficiency is computer functions is required. 

All three of these schools specifically list what the STUDENT needs for computer requirements. The requirements for the teacher are usually the same but are not specifically addressed in the information packets provided. This type of information is provided in the training listed in Part I of this assignment. In both online situations I've been in for about 4 years, the teacher is given this information as part of the hiring process. This type of information might have been previously available online, but you would have to begin the hiring process for each of these companies to receive that information. All 3 have links for employment but not specific information about computer skills for online teaching, specifically.
