I definitely feel that my role as a future educator will change. My biggest fear as a future educator is the idea of business and the administration will start to decrease their need for teachers. It’s interesting that so many virtual schools are being are forming and many are considered charter schools. I see my role as having robots as teacher’s aids. I say this because many companies cut their employees because robots can do the job faster and it’s cost effective. We will conduct class virtually and interactively engage with visual, tactile and auditory elements of the virtual world. Students will be able to interact with a touch screen that fall down directly in front of the desk when they prompt it to, so they can engage in the class discussion. I would have to become adapted to the most current technology. Students will have access to information at a touch of a screen. I don’t think their would be much room for error on the teachers part. My role as the teacher would change drastically would see myself like Will Smith in I-Robot still having old technology as a means of back-up. It’s a scary thing that society has become so addicted to technology. Technology can be monitored or hacked into by any computer savvy person. I would have a switch on my desk that has the technology that I learned with as a child. I love technology……..but not at the means of my job!
