Do your think teachers are being replaced by computers?

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is quickly playing an imperative role as a in teaching aide in schools and other educational institutions. Increasingly As more and more subjects can be taught via computers and as a consequence there would seem to be lesser and less fewer need for teachers are required to be present, as independent learning will be are encouraged with the assistance of a computer. Currently the issue of whether teachers will be replaced by ICT is widely discussed currently by professionals people in both the private and public sectors.
It is true that self-study and autonomous learning using technology is a means of learning that can be highly effective for practice drills, the study of factual knowledge, or for pure rote memorization. For instance, computers help students solve math exercises and memorize historical facts. Additionally, online teaching on many occasions not only can optimize the costs for schools by increasing teacher-student ratios, but it also enables individuals to study almost anytime, anywhere, which really makes learning more convenient and flexible. It would therefore appear seem that teachers are becoming more and more redundant.
In the meantime however, crucial elements have to be taken took into account with regards to ICL and teaching. Firstly and foremost, students are not supposed to be passive receptacles of theoretical knowledge and true education should not be confined to the delivery of information. It should instead involve the cultivation of effective learning habits and as well as developing vital communication skills through the development of group discussion and student-teacher interaction skills as well, which can not be found in online courses. There are discussions As a matter of fact that imply good teaching takes place is derived from when the learning is directly associated with our emotions and our learning capabilities. There is no doubt that only As a higher educated and accrediated individual, it is assumed that the teacher with the necessary skills and qualifications function to deliver knowledge, experience and can communicate wisdom in order to develop instill high moral values, and which will to encourage one to think creatively and critically.
Without suggesting that the technology is incapable of its purpose entirely worthless, I believe the task of schools is to strike a wise balance between ICT and teaching. Only by further developing the way in which way we effectively manage our school and the technology, can we make ensure that teachers can benefit from the inherent advantage that technology holds in the transmission of information. In conclusion All in all, ICT will never replace the teacher, it will only make him or her more important.

Hi this short answer question is very interesting! Your answer is concise and to the point, it seems that you personally (strongly) do not agree :) Your answer does consider both views, that is advantages and disadvantages of ICT which is important when answering these questions because you should write objectively not subjectively. Your last sentence "ICT will never replace the teacher..." is a very strong point of view and should be reserved for casual writing. When writing formally, e.g. essay or exam questions, keep in mind there should be no "I" however in this case the question is asking for your opinion which is ok. Also be careful when you start to make "factual statements" without actual evidence. In university, scientific-based reports, writings, essays etc. require you to ALWAYS provide evidence (i.e. citing your resources/references) to support what you are saying, and not just because the information is generalized. For example "As a matter of fact, good teaching takes place when the learning is directly associated with our emotion" that, I'm sorry to say may have caused you to fail in a science report because without doing continuous studies and providing evidence there is no proof that it is indeed a fact. BUT this is NOT a scientific essay so thats ok, I think next time instead of using words that are generalized just substitute with "may" or "would seem" E.g. instead of "it is true that self study..." use "it may seem that self study" because how can you possibly prove that is true?? anyway i hope this helps!! 加油！！

Hello, everyone! Here is my English writing and I really need your advice.  It does not matter whether it is about the grammar or ideas I've used in the written work. Thank you so much.

imperative means commanding or necessary  -- It may be too strong a word to use here.

(1)  Is this a fact that you can footnote?

Very well written!  You are writing in very complex sentences.  Punctuation then starts to become a problem.  So I shortened a couple of your sentences to avoid a long, clumsy sentence.

I agree that computers can help to teach many things, even foreign languages.  They can free up a teacher's time to concentrate on specific problems that students have.  ICT only works with motivated, independent students.
