# What kind of technology do I need to have to be an online teacher?

You will need to have a working desktop or laptop with high-speed internet that can handle video and audio. Skype is commonly used for online lessons as well, so we recommend having that application downloaded and ready to go on your computer.

We normally recommend that teachers conduct their lessons at home, but you can also teach in any space that is quiet, has no distractions and has a strong internet connection.
