Abstract

NEW TECHNOLOGIES SUCH as the Internet and PowerPoint are altering the communication context in which educators, school administrators, students and counselors work. This essay suggests that biblical insights and historic Christian theology can help educators to act wisely within this high-tech context. Of particular importance are: listening, being self-consciously “multimedia” persons, and attending to the role of the Holy Spirit in the non-technological mystery of human communication.
