Not replace as much as supplement.
A computer goes at the students' speed as student controls it.
A computer never says, "boy are you stupid" or any other negative comment
Kids who don't do well with personal interaction, work better with machines.
Students who need to control their environment do better with machines.
A computer can give unlimited drill and practice, while a teacher has to move on to the next topic.
Learning with computers lets each student learn individually - not having to wait for others to finally understand something. Can add to enrichment.
NOTHING can replace a teacher!

No. When a teacher asks a question and you sit there with a dumb look on your face, they can ask you what you don't understand about the question. They can directly answer your problem. A computer will never do that because you have to go to the help menu and fudge around with the index, etc before you find what you're looking for.
A person directly communicating with another person is faster than a person trying to communicate with a computer program.

No. A teacher can explain things in different ways until you understand, have a conversation with you, etc.
So far most people I know who have taken online courses, where there's still a teacher but no personal contact with them, haven't liked them. They say it's harder to learn that way, explanations of assignments were less clear, and they just didn't care about the class as much.

NO, I believe hands on is the best way. Computers can not tell what problem a child is having, or encourage them to keep trying, or explain in a different way so that special child can understand.

i think yes. computers are more knowledgeable that teachers. Internet is the best example. And i think that way we can learn when WE want and not when our teachers, parents and the government wants. Honestly, that is the best way of learning n teaching too.

no, it shouldn't happen. Online courses are pathetic, and you don't learn anything.
