If we take a look at the history of education over the last thousand years, little has changed in the way we learn and teach. But if we consider how a personal computer (PC) could transform our society, our business and the way of life in general, since the first of its kind was invented in 1975, we can only imagine how a PC could influence our education system in the future. future (Evens 37). In such a short period of time, just 34 years, personal computers have changed our daily lives so much that many, if not all, of us now cannot imagine life without them. Even in schools, PCs have already replaced regular notebooks, pencils, textbooks and sometimes even entire classrooms, making it easier for students to follow lessons without even leaving home. In this article I will demonstrate that in the near future computers will replace many instructors in our ordinary classrooms and training schools. In today's world, there are many schools that have already started using computers and thus replacing teachers in many aspects. Many educational institutions offer online classes and even entire degree programs, so that students don't have to come to class and actually meet their teachers. Most online lessons are based on programmed software and, therefore, do not require teachers' effort in lesson creation and tedious grading. Almost all educational software like NovaNet Learning and Plato Learning have scheduled lessons that can give feedback to the student, provide some clues, automatically grade assignments and tests, and help improve the student's understanding by highlighting errors and helping them fix them. just like a teacher would do in a normal classroom. In fact, these programs are used in many American experiences for students around the world. Works Cited Evans, Alan, Martin, Kendall and Poatsy, Mary Anne. Technology in action. and. 6.
