here are some things that a teacher can do, but computers can't. Computers can't go to a student and explain something a different way if they still don't get it. I take online courses and most people at my school do. I have talked to many and they all say they would rather have face-to-face classes. Many also say they use the book and notes when taking tests, although they're not supposed to a computer doesn't have a degree in teaching. A bunch of people would lose their jobs and they wouldn't be able to make money to support themselves and/or their family. Not only that but the education of the students would most likely go down. A computer cannot keep order in a classroom so what would keep the students behaving? A lot of people need extra help as well and a computer can't do that. A computer would not be able to answer every question that a student might ask. Some students are visual learners while some are audio and a computer wouldn't be fit.

I think there are interesting possibilities that we are just beginning to scratch the surface of. The transition from (teacher guided) education to (student guided) learning is one that advanced Information technology can add momentum to or retard, depending on how it's applied.

Create debate is on the right track so far, from what I can tell. But I wonder how the goal of getting it used in more schools is going. (I sure could contribute a thing or two to brainstorming sessions hint hint)I am pretty sure that the creators of this website would agree with me that presenting the technology as a replacement for teachers isn't the right angle.

computers should replace teachers because teachers have more knowledge than computers.Teachers tell quickly and computer's take time to tell the answers.
