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.

Nanotechnology promises to be the next great human technological
revolution, but such change often comes at the price of unforeseen
consequences. Nanotechnology: Ethics and Society explores
several of the practical and ethical dilemmas presented by this
technological leap. This book provides a framework for deciding how to
best take advantage of nanotechnology opportunities while minimizing
potential negative effects. After an overview of the nanotechnology
revolution, this text illustrates key concepts in the assessment model
and then applies this model to a case study related to human
enhancement technologies. A final chapter offers an ethical agenda for
addressing the challenges of nanotechnology.
