The Art of Teaching - Part 2

In the next section of The Art of Teaching Joy talks about finding your 'voice' or the mask you will wear as a teacher. What does that mean to me? He talks a lot about clothes and the importance of the way you dress to how your voice is displayed to your students.

I don't think that the way I dress is going to be what I focus on, especially as most of my teaching and training is done online. I guess that my voice would be what the students notice if we are creating training using Camtasia, and I could get training for myself on 'using my voice'.

Thinking along those lines further, could my online lessons convey more that just how to use a piece of software? Could I be teaching everything from good practise (interaction design, accessibility) and workflow techniques, to good attitudes (again attitudes towards accessibility, how to enjoy what you are doing).
