" Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating term , the teacher is the most important".

Can technology replace teachers ?

It is a much known fact that in this modern age, technology is replacing almost everything. We do not need papers and pens, as software can be used to write on, we do not need physical book because of the advent of E- books and PDFs. So, the question arises- can this modern technology replace teachers too ? Is this technology sophisticated enough to teach children the way virtual teachers do? Is the need of human teachers eliminated ? 

Everyone has a different perception. But what I believe is that the answer to the above stated arguments is a big 'No'. Technology cannot replace a teacher. Technology is merely an augmentation to a teacher. It can help the process of learning, but it certainly cannot replace the role of the teacher.

1.Teacher  can discuss and  communicate with teacher.so it can be critical. 

2. They  have to connect the  dots for easy understanding 

" Absolutely. Technology can certainly help teachers to reach out to more students & reduce physical strain & save time for both of them, but there is no way technology can  replace teachers at anytime."

Technology can make it easy to get educated by sitting at home but that education too is provided by a teacher. Even in online courses, we see that teaches are necessary to give lectures, whether in the form of videos, tutorials, Skype sessions, etc. Children still need to learn computers to operate those online sessions, which of course are taught by teachers.

It is significant that we remember, a teacher is more than just a facilitator of knowledge. A teacher also acts as a guide, a mentor and an inspiration for students, a role that cannot be replaced by technology of any kind. Taking critical skills into account like decision making, time management etc, a child needs a teacher as the technology cannot teach these human skills.

" Technology will not replace great teachers but technology in the hands of great teachers can be transformationl.

                          - George Couros

Teacher  can easily teach through the use of it. It make  learning easy and also an interesting. Specially we saw  benefit of technology during this pandemic time and lock down. How technology helps us. Because of it works were not stop and mostly things were being  continued.

All the farmers are asked by phone what you have to do to build a shopping mall in the farm. Not all the farmers provide this. In this way the technology can be put to good use by asking everyone in a short time.

Thank you.
