Robots in the Classroom-10

I have briefly heard of these robots coming being used to help teachers in the classroom. Whether or not they will become more common in schools and other academic settings is hard to say. We are a technologically advancing world and with these advances come big changes. I can see where the robots would become helpful to the teachers as an assistant but I don’t want to see robots completely replacing teachers. Having robots as teachers would take away the personal aspect of having a real person in the classroom teaching you and helping you learn new things. As we’ve discussed in previous posts, people are growing up not knowing how to have proper face-to-face conversations, and preferring technology companionship. I believe teachers play a huge role in helping these conversational skills be developed and placing robots in the classrooms could change the way students react to each other. Even in this technological advancing world, I don’t think robots will ever completely take over the job as being the teacher but it will be interesting to see where these advances take us.
