Task 4D - Literature

What is a teacher? My own brief research into teaching professionally. 

Paula left a comment on my blog suggesting I should use google to find the meaning of teaching and the meaning of being a teacher, below are my findings this lead me to teaching what it means to be a teacher, the profession itself, what it takes to teach and finally reasons why people teach. 

Below is what I have found online to help to develop my line of inquiry, I will continue to gather other sources of literature to blog about.

Reasons why people teach. 

This is a good start for me to start finding literature for the next few tasks. This will help me to build other ideas using the informations from google and when all the data is back from my questionnaires.

 If anyone is looking to form a SIG group with me to chat about teaching let me know.
