I would be very gratefull if you allow me to understand the change in the learning system and how it has affected or benefited you.

Thank you for your time

No. Yes technology (much broader than computers) are used in the classroom, but they have not replaced other forms of teaching. They are a tool used by qualitified teachers to help students learn. Research shows very clearly that the most important factor affecting student learning is the quality of their teacher. All the technology in the world isn't going to change that :)

In the traditional school setting computers have in no way, shape, or form replaced traditional teaching at a large scale. In a vast majority of schools computers are tools that serve to complement instruction. In some specialized courses, such as a technology education class, I'm sure they have changed things more so than in the big 4.

The only places that computers may have replaced traditional teaching would be virtual schools or some other nontraditional schools.

In some ways, computers have changed the educational system. You can post assignments, grades, discussions, videos, and more online. Students can submit papers and worksheets. They can view lecture notes and PowerPoints.

This is seen mostly at the college level, however. I can see it moving downward into the high school and middle school levels in time. I don't feel it would reach the elementry schools though.
