Teacher or Tutor?

  

   Respond to the following:

Discuss the differences        between using technology as a tool and using it as a tutor.  Which use do you think is        most prevalent in schools? Why?  Describe software that serves        as an assistant and software that enables a computer to serve as a        teaching machine.  Discuss the advantages and        disadvantages of both.  View the video at Edutopia, Schools Use Games        for Learning and Assessment,        and share your reaction to the content.  Do you agree or disagree with        the use of games as teaching tools or assistants?  How would their use impact a        classroom?
