Technology and Teacher.

Question

Technology is being used increasingly in the classroom and some people believe that the role of educators will become blurred. I completely disagree that teachers will be replaced totally by technology.

Nowadays, using digital devices are in vogue. Technology allows students to be more and more independent in their learning. Students can download the lectures that are posted on school’s website so that they can read whenever they want with a comfortable feeling and have a flexible timetable. Furthermore, information technology in education give learners more chances to study in groups and to construct a wide communication.

However, it is undeniable that the role of teachers is still essential in class because there are many things that machines cannot do such as explicating, supervising and encouraging students. When some students get bored of learning new things or when they have a misleading in what they learnt, teachers will play a role as a facilitator helping students to acquire understanding towards a certain issues and handle the questions given by the teachers. Besides, students can also learn some social skills and other useful lessons from teachers who have abundant life experience and high pedagogical skills. Another advantage of using educators is that students will be put under supervision when their results have signs of going down or when, more terrible, they are get bogged down into society’s vices.

In conclusion, people do not deny completely the role of technology and educators. However, it is clear that people will certainly need educators in class and we should combine these two aspects by a reasonable way.
