How to switch split screen Emacs where one screen is the editor while the other is terminal emulator?

I have ssh'ed to a remote machine and started emacs. I opened one small python application, and then split the screen into two, and M-x terminal-emulator in the other. I would like to edit the script in one section, then press C-x o and run it on the other section. Unfortunately, I can't seem to C-x o away from the terminal emulator and it just ends up typing x o.

Is there a better quick way of doing what I'm trying to do? Or is there a keystroke that will let me switch back to the editor section?

Edit: I just tried doing 'M-x shell', instead of 'M-x term', and that allows me to use C-x o to switch.

ALT-X other-window

C-TAB also works locally. Will that translate over SSH? If not, bind other-window to another key that will go over SSH.
