Some Edutopia readers, though excited about the possibilities of technology, wondered in the latest magazine if elaborate digital programs could one day replace teachers. One educator wrote, "Teachers need training . . . and embedded in this training must be the vision of technology as enhancer, not replacer." Another described her current job as a computer coach as her dream teaching assignment, and then concluded, "My only worry is that I will eventually make my own job obsolete." Indeed, advances in technology throughout the years have made certain jobs irrelevant -- think of switchboard operators or elevator attendants. Are you concerned this could happen to educators? Tell us what you think!
