their assignments and turn them in on the same day (Granberg et al.,2000).

• RELIANCE

2.3 Can technology replace teachers? Discuss

- No, teachers cannot be replaced by technology because it is difficult for other students to
learn online without teachers being able to communicate themselves (Granberg et al., 2000).

-Some students require additional instruction where teachers make time for them and make
sure they develop the skills and methods necessary to be successful learners every day in order
for them to learn more, comprehend more, and produce good results things you cannot
accomplish with technology.

-It is evident that students find it difficult to concentrate when utilizing technology, and they
will divert their attention from watching instructional films in favor of other activities (Granberg
et al.,2000).
