A teacher who really cares about the topic or skill they are teaching, demonstrates this through the enthusiasm and urgency of their every action. I agree, that sometimes teachers get confused about focusing on "caring" about the students. Yes, it is important to have a relationship with the students as individuals, but for a teacher, students need to see how much you care about what you are teaching, before they will care about it themselves(applying the old, worn-out phrase). This is something that a computer will never be able to replicate, no matter how engaging the music or graphics.

Enthusiasm is contagious. Thanks for caring!
