Technology not replace Teachers

             Technology Will Not Replace Teachers. There is an onslaught of technology on the modern classroom. Teachers, administrators, parents, and students alike are being told that technology is the whetstone with which we can all sharpen our education system. Technology can open doors, expand minds, and change the world.

Teachers, administrators, parents, and students alike are being told that technology is the whetstone with which we can all sharpen our education system.
