Most teachers will probably agree that listening is very important for
students’ academic success. Schultz’s approach, however, is not
specifically focused on improving students’ listening abilities, but
rather on helping teachers locate listening at the center of their
teaching. In Chapter 1, Locating Listening at the Center of Teaching,
Schultz explains her rationale for focusing on a pedagogy of listening.
“Rather than teaching prospective and experienced teachers how to
follow prescriptions for blueprints” says Schultz, “I suggest that
teachers learn how to attend to and to respond with deep understanding
to the students they teach” (p. 2). Schultz defines listening as “more
than just hearing….[it is] how a teacher attends to individuals, the
classroom as a group, the broader social context, and, cutting across
all of these, to silence and acts of silencing” (p. 8). Schultz
presents her conceptual framework in this first chapter, but readers
will have to stay the course to fully understand her view of listening.

Teaching in the Knowledge Society: New Skills and Instruments for
Teachers covers a pedagogical survey of the changes induced by
information and communication technology (ICT) in today’s society and
education. It critically analyzes facts, instruments, solutions, and
strategies while suggesting interpretations and hypotheses to develop a
new way of thinking about ICT use in education. Teaching in the
Knowledge Society: New Skills and Instruments for Teachers presents an
historical description of education and ICT use and explains the
theoretical reasons for the author’s description and analysis of the
experiences. It also drafts future scenarios for teaching-learning
phenomena and for education in a society where ICT and knowledge
management will play a more relevant role.
Because of the nature of their subject, technology teachers have found
ways to make learning active and exciting, often through new activities
and projects that have real-world relevance. As technology fields grow,
the success of technology teachers is tied in with innovation rather
than the accomplishments of the past. Advanced Teaching Methods for the
Technology Classroom provides a comprehensive, critical approach to
meeting the new challenges of technology in the classroom. This book
gathers together research on technology methods, principles, and
content, and acts as a reference source for proven and innovative
methods. Advanced Teaching Methods for the Technology Classroom
presents an introduction to teaching educational technology, design,
and engineering. It also contains strategies for innovation by
examining the what, why, and how of technology education.
