will the use of information technology in schools lessen the role of teachers?

No. The use of information technology will aid the teachers better inform their pupils about the world.\nMoreover the role of teacher would be more important and stronger as only teachers will tell you where to find correct information and what is right and what is wrong.\nSo, i think IT will complement the role of teacher rather than lessening it.

technology has great influece on the education system.\nchildren has access to knowledge...easier and faster... but this make students lazier...as in the case of plagiarism... it is undeniable that technology had make communication easier but it do increase the number of crime or more commonly known as cybercrime.....involving students and children\nbut i personally think that if technology is used in a good way....that is searching information, enchance communication...... in education then....it is good....

Yes, the nerds are usually the smart ones. So schools are producing less nerds these days. It all started going downhill after Bill Gates.\n\nOops! FEWER nerds.

Having taught all ages from 14-80+ it is vital that you know your subject.  Too often I have had to deal with school groups who have not been taught properly because of a lack of knowledge/skills in the teaching staff.  There are those in my type of institution (FE College) who teach ICT straight after having completed a course themselves.  This is not a sound knowledge of computing, rather it is a knowledge of the course and assessments.\nSchools are still suffering from a shortage of good ICT staff, the school I work with have a manager of ICT simply because that person is the only one to have applied for the job.  Having worked with them for a number of years I am well aware of their lack of skill.\n\nToo much emphasis is placed on the 'teaching qualification' and not on the subject skills in many areas not just ICT.\nI have so much more to say on this, but best leave it at that!

Are you asking what happens when you try to teach computing without computers?

In England, the school subject IT (Information Technology) was renamed ICT (Information and Communication Technology) by the government some years ago.  The "C" was to reflect the increasing importance of the Internet and other forms of communication technologies in the world of computers.\n\nThis move was unpopular with some because "IT" is a common term throughout the world in industry.\n\nThe definition of "Information Technology" (as accepted by the AQA exam board) is that "technology" means the application of science to everday tasks.  Information Technology means the application of science to inputting, storing and processing data and outputting information.  Communication Technology is the application of science to developing new forms of communication.

Before I answer let me say that I work in the computer industry, so I'm no luddite when it comes to computers.\n\nThat being said, I personally believe that computers have *no* importance to students in terms of learning at least until high school, and even then their usefulness is limited.\n\nElementary and middle school should be about learning the basics.  How to add, subtract, multiply, and divide.  How to read.  How to write.  How to take notes.  How to look up information.  How to discern good information from bad.  And so on.\n\nI believe that computers hinder that learning rather than help it.  Computers do all of the work so that a student has only to do a web search and his research is complete.  Punch numbers into a calculator and his math homework is done.  Type a stream of consciousness into Word and his English paper is done with proper spelling and grammar fully checked.\n\nI believe that computers shouldn't be used in teaching until high school where they would be used to teach programming, logic, and basic problem solving.

School computers are meant for school work not playing in My space or checking e-mail. If caught trying to bypass the blocks you could be suspended from using the school computers as well as from school itself. Make use of the school computers for your educational benefit.

You don't.  School computers are for educational purposes.

Probably not too directly.  Computer Information Systems is pretty high level.  But when working with computers extensively, the ability to analyze problems and think logically is important.  So perhaps that's the connection.

Yes computer as a mean to better educational achievement.\n\nHow I am using? Free online books/online examination/latest research work/ and a lot just from home.\n\nThe time which I had spent outside exploring these things, by the internet it is save and I can use that time for further imporovements.\n\nDo you also know that recently most of the Educational institutions are giving online education.\n\nIt is up to you how do you use internet.

Technology is good in education. These days without a little knowledge you will feel like you are on the outside looking in. So much of it is incorporated in to everyday life from automated tellers to libraries. I still prefer a good book but that doesn't mean I'm against reading an e-book. Maybe in the future reading them on the computer will feel about the same with graphics and advancing technology.

Teachers are a great asset and play a major role in shaping a students career and thinking.\n\nA student, spends over 20,000 hours in school till he completes the 12th class and during this long period he absorbs the qualities of his teachers by observing their conduct.\n\nTeachers have the responsibilities, to not only spread knowledge but also impart spirituality and scientific outlook which are essential for a nation to grow.

now a days just about everything has to do with computers and copmuters in the work place... if you or the shool doesnt teach it then it will be hard to learn as you go

Thorough knowledge is an added advantage but if a teacher is not sincere for his work or not dedicated to his proffession then he's not worthed. a teacher should always be approachable for kids.

Not at all! Teaching is a physically and intellectually challenging job, and most teachers are up to the task. Those who are not should be weeded out to seek employment elsewhere. There are many who "can't" who TRY to teach, but they "can't" do that either.\n\nChow!!
