PAIT, Heloisa. Silver rings: students and teachers in a media society. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2005, n.26, pp.157-178. ISSN 0104-4060.
What is the role of teachers in a world of massive information and constantly shifting media spheres? Should he or she resist such changes or accept them acritically? We show here the core of the student-teacher relationship should be preserved if we are to create and maintain a rich public dialogue in our societies. Through pieces of prose, we reflect upon teachers strategies for navigating complex media spaces. We present four types of teachers: the teacher of the book, the theatrical teacher, the televisual teacher, and the telegraphic teacher. Particular attention is given to the televisual teacher, who is responsible for organizing dispersed information as well as helping students withstand the ventual lack of meaning without ever abandoning the communicative game proposed by television.
