Should Teachers be replaced by Apps
The rise of technology, particularly applications, has altered the classroom of today. There are already over 4 million instructional apps available on the market. Hundreds of these apps are intended to assist instructors with their classroom duties.
Educators and parents, on the other hand, wonder if they should be supplanted by technology. Is it detrimental or beneficial to children?
Teachers are being attacked all around the world. One of the most recent arguments against teachers is that they should be replaced with applications to improve the efficiency of teaching. Is technology, however, assisting in the improvement of educational quality?
The answer varies depending on who you ask. Some may tell you that using applications in schools has made their lives easier, while others will tell you that it is ineffective. In any case, there are numerous apps available to assist students in learning more rapidly and successfully.
Over 1 million educational apps are now available for students and teachers to use. Apps such as Duolingo, Quizlet, and Kahoot allow students to learn at their own pace while also allowing them to communicate with students from all over the world.
The obvious question: Will these apps eventually replace teachers? No, it does not! While technology can improve learning experiences and promote student engagement, it will never completely replace human-to-human interaction in the classroom. Teachers will always play a vital role as mentors and guides in the classroom.
It’s a reasonable question. Given that there are applications for everything from fitness to language study, one might question if teachers could be replaced by apps in the classroom. They, in my opinion, already do.
The majority of schools are pursuing a video-game agenda. Because children are too preoccupied with playing, they do not learn. This, in my opinion, is a tremendous error. Take a look at what it’s done to today’s youth. Some think that video games have a negative impact on children, while others argue that the Internet and social media are good to learning. Many schools are incorporating technology into the classroom, such as interactive smartboards, laptop computers, tablets, and apps.
The price of running a school is exorbitant. Other than physical education, pupils have a plethora of other demands that must be met. Nothing gets done if a pupil is not engaged in learning. What happens to a pupil if he or she is not being educated?
Children must be given the opportunity to receive an education. The world is a different place now, and we must prepare children to compete in it.
Teachers must be effective educators. When asked about the impact of technology on education, instructors constantly name technology as a major factor in good change. They feel that today’s pupils are digital natives, having grown up in a society where technology is an expected part of daily life. Technology assists in addressing the issue of growing class sizes, which affects instructional time and student-teacher contact.
Kids can use an app like Explain Everything to record their explanations of arithmetic problems and review them afterwards to discover what works and what doesn’t. They can even share their recordings with a teacher or parent so that they can receive comments on how they might improve. Apps can also help children improve their reading skills by allowing them to hear diverse voices.
