The combination of education and technology enables us to investigate about the teaching identity. Distance learning, more specifically, makes us think about the possibilities of using art and aesthetics during the dialogical teacher-student construction. In order to produce this article, it was used some of the results obtained in a case study handled by an in-loco and a long distance learning teacher. One of the highlighted aspects found in the interviews is related to video, videopoems and podcasts production for long distance learning and that contributes to build the teacher’s identity. A teacher who works in long distance learning processes was invited to take part into this research, using the technology to produce the materials for his classes. We believe that this teacher has as one of his identity characteristics which help him create characters to act in videos, podcasts, videopoems or even video classes, since his acting is similar to that one which is found in cinemas and theaters. Changing the way the teacher works and allowing him some time to reflect on his performance as a teacher from a new perspective, it is possible to create another way of thinking this teacher as an EAD character. We understand that the character can be created in different situations of everyday life and can be seen as one of the assumed identities at certain times and circumstances for each person.
