We are live in the world that computers conquer. Already computers have taken place of many parts of humans. As the computers are developed, many movies related to humans and computers have made these days. For example, a movie 'HER' is a movie that describes love between artificial intelligence(a computer) and human. Today, many people have become individualists. The main character felt all alone in the world. One day, he fell in love with an artificial intelligence. Can an artificial intelligence really have emotions that humans feel like love? Like this movie, computers are the things that cannot be separated.
However, although the developed computers have changed the society a lot, there is few change in education environment. Three components of education are professor, learner, and contents to learn. The Korea's education is just that professors teach learners the contents. However, nowadays, 'smart classroom' such as tablet PC, smartphone have introduced in education environments. It makes some changes in the Korea's education environments. Before this change, students just watched internet lecture, however, now students learn with various education method of computers. As the computers have introduced into education environments, various companies such as Apple, Samsung, Google have tried to make various computer textbooks.
However, we have to consider this situation carefully because this is very new change in the education environments. It is not identified education as a good method to students. Also, students have to be careful to accept the new education way.
We can refer to a precedent of America that introduced computers in schools earlier. According to an article, 'Can Computers Replace Teachers?', Steve Jobs didn’t think that technology alone could make American education better. It’s worth remembering that in the wake of last week’s breathless coverage of Apple’s new iBooks platform, which the company promises will radically change how students use and experience textbooks. Under Apple’s plan, companies and individuals will be able to self-publish textbooks, ideally creating a wider array of content. Students will be able to download and use these books on their iPad much like they would use a regular textbook including highlighting passages, making notes and pulling out passages or chapters that are especially important to them.
Critics were quick to pounce that Apple wasn’t being revolutionary enough. Former school superintendent and current ed-tech investor Tom Vander Ark chided Apple for not thinking past textbooks, which he considers hopelessly 20th century. Others worried that Apple’s real goal wasn’t to open up the textbook industry but to control it and profit from it through restrictive licensing agreements and a platform that dominates the market. I’m sure the for-profit company’s shareholders will be horrified at that news.
The experience to date is less grandiose and more worrisome considering the billions that have been spent on technology in schools in the past few decades. Interactive whiteboards have been around since the early 1990s and done little to transform how teachers teach, and computers are often unaligned with classroom instruction, even though 90% of classrooms around the country have them. Still, according to Department of Education data from 2009, just some students use computers to prepare texts “sometimes or often” and half of the students do more complicated tasks, for instance to “solve problems, analyze data, or perform calculations” on a regular basis.

There is, of course, still promise in education technology. Dreambox(here is more information of Dreambox, which just this week announced a new series of lessons aligned to the nascent Common Core standards and free licenses for every school in the country, combines real content with an interactive format so kids are learning even when they think they’re just playing games. In a short time, it substantially boosted kids’ math achievement. As for engagement? Maybe too much.
Even a top-shelf product can only augment live teaching. Despite Dreambox’s overall good functionality, there are places where students can become frustrated — not because they don’t know how to do the underlying math, but because the directions for the online activity are confusing.
Namely, computer programs for student's education are not proper to students although it was made to use for better education because many students and teachers become confused because they don't know well how to use it. Therefore, computers can't replace teachers.
We can't separate from computers. Most of the things that we do are related with computers. However, according to our education history, although the computers have been developed, there are few changes in education environments. Just the pattern that professors teach learners the contents was repeated. However, nowadays, as the computers are introduced into education, the introduction have made many changes in education method to students and teachers. In classroom, computers have taken the place of teachers. However, we can't ignore the previous education method. It has been efficient enough to teach students, and students have studied well. The new introduction of computers into education is not identified method to students and teachers. Also, students can be confused because of the new policy. Teachers will be in trouble because of difficult using of computers in education. We have to consider the situation that education can be commercial because of the education method related to computers. Computers' taking the place of teachers cannot be efficient, and logical. So, I believe that computers should not take the place of teachers in classrooms.
