reflection #6

What?
I cant stop thinking about the possibility that teachers may not be as needed one day.

So what?
If technology takes over how students are taught, whats to keep it from taking over the teacher's position. We already have people signed up to online courses, watching lectures and such. This right here causes the need for teachers to be less. could it be possible that some form of "home school" will be preferred over all else.

Now What?
I guess I'll keep teaching for as long as possible. In doing so hopefully all will see that having a "living biological teacher" might be better than an avatar or downloading into a brain.

  1. I think about this often myself. I don't think that avatars will replace teachers but I do think that the great use of the Smart Board is allowing teachers to reley more on technology and way less on their own abilities. Technology is definetly a great tool in the classroom but there needs to be a line that is drawn.
