Future of Teachers

As technology continues to develop and increase in its capabilities, some fear that teachers them selves, like older technologies, will become obsolete. I believe however, that the roll of the teacher will become what it was always destine to be. That destiny is to be a guide to help others learn to become efficient learners. With the increases in technology and with technologies like the iPad teacher become a guide to help the child through self exploration. Teachers will be there to guide or clarify any questions a child may have and to guide the child on the path to the right answers. As teachers we are not there to tell the children what to think or to give them the question this is not how life work. There will not always be someone there to teach you the things you want to learn that is why it is imperative that we teach children and adults how to teach themselves and find reliable resources and information. With the new technology that is out and that is being developed children will be able to become more immersed in the learning processes helping them to want to become better learners. Teachers will always be need because they are the experts. Learner can go to teachers whenever they have questions about the things they are learning so that they may have a more intimate face to face learning experience which is somethings a computer can not give.
