In that sense, words can become more important because in many cases it's the only means you have to convey meaning (no body language to help you here although you have emoticons)<BR/>However, I think that one of the most important qualities of good teachers is knowing how to reach their students, how to "invite" them, if you prefer. And that is something that, as a teacher, you always need to do, no matter the media.<BR/>So I guess my answer to your question is "yes".Mary Di Mónacohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12029783653965038863noreply@blogger.com
