If Information were food

Humm, I am blogging away as I have not posted anything for the iteach blogs until today. The question " if information were food what would be a balanced diet for me?" is an intriguing question. I like vegtables and salads with a steak thrown in once and awhile. I have to watch what I consume in the information area because the amount of information that is available in all of the areas that I am interest are overwhelming and I could easily over eat . I use the internet to explore questions about child development, child development theorists, culture, and the arts. I read alot but it is usually not on the computer. I veiw the computer as something of a vampire and often I don't feel very well physically after I have spent hours on it.

What I like about teaching

What I like about teaching? One of the things I like is that I learn from my students. Teaching via distance is demanding. A distance teacher doesn't get to see his/her faces during a discussion. I really like the building of relationships in a distance class althought it is a challenge. It is hard to know how student are reading each other and reading me sometimes but I think authenticity comes through whether I am on an audioconference or online.
