Where's my child's robot teacher?
We've been promised for years that robots will soon move from factories into our everyday lives (maybe even white-collar offices), and yet so far, the closest thing we have to Rosie Jetson is the Roomba. Ref. Source 3
A computer, no matter how sophisticated, can never replace a human teacher. Computers may work for those capable of learning from them but not everyone is the same and only a human teacher can detect the strengths and weaknesses of each student.
Robot learning companion offers custom-tailored tutoring
Scientists have developed a socially assistive robot called Tega designed to serve as a one-on-one peer learner in or outside of the classroom. Testing the setup in a Boston area preschool, the researchers showed Tega can learn and improve in response to the unique characteristics of students. Ref. Source 2x.
I disagree. With the number of students in classes disrupting other students who wish to learn I believe changes will be coming into our education system and that would be computers to allow the kids who wish to learn to be able to learn at their own paces in the comfort of their own homes so they do not have to be harassed or picked on by other students.
Well, I hope this doesn't happen KN. You and I have discussed this before. I think this will inhibit, even stunt children's ability to interact socially. We were not designed to be like this, interacting with computers rather than people, and it is rewiring us in ways we may find we don't like.
