How Khan Academy and other advances in educational technology are changing the role of teachers.
Via Yasemin Allsop
Alfredo Corell's insight:
So, to come back to the original question: can technology replace teachers? The short answer: not quite. While the need may differ between adult and children learners, I think everyone can benefit from the right mix of teacher and technology. What that right mix is will differ for each individual student, depending upon their learning style.

The communication explosion reaches its peak when you explore the endless avenues running through TED Talks. Moreover, the title educator embodies many forms within these talks. So it’s precisely for this reason that any educator benefits from so many of these talks. Each speaker reveals his or her passion of a view or a subject with the enthusiasm of a first-year teacher. Using TED Talks to convey an important message or spark creativity might be more effective in teaching students than an individual agenda or preconceived notion of what should be said.

Technology can open doors, expand minds, and change the world. That may be true, but it's not the panacea that it's been made out to be. As much innovation as the iPad may bring to the classroom, it's not going to replace a teacher anytime soon. Via EDTECH@UTRGV
Alfredo Corell's insight:
So yes, technology is going to play a critical role in the future of education. But not as big a role as that of a teacher.

Absolutely true. Technology is another way to present material which needs to be learned. Learners will always need someone to explain information found on the iPad in the same way they do with books.

Teachers are the arbitrators of knowledge and culture. Knowledge and culture are each dynamic, endlessly crashing and churning. Via María Asunción Martínez Mayoral
Alfredo Corell's insight:
Knowledge and culture are each dynamic, endlessly crashing and churning. This makes teaching significantly important and difficult work, and can leave teaching—as a craft—wide-eyed and nonplussed in response. Worse, those outside the bubble of education can understandably struggle to understand the problem. What are the teaching in those schools anyway? How is it any different from when I was in school? Well, as it turns out, much of it is different from even five years ago.
