The computer is widely used in education and some people think that teachers will not play important roles in the classroom. To what extent do you agree?

Computers have been favoured by more and more educators and teachers as a key component of a perfect educational environment, its role in a traditional classroom is

a subject of debate, with myriad arguments being advanced both in support of and against its impact on the role of a

. One of the major drawbacks of the

is lack of flexibility. Due to its programmatic limitations, its teaching is uniform, repetitive, standardised and

, which makes it unaligned with the philosophy of the contemporary education, is its failure to interact with students. Out of technical constraints, the
