Kids Learn with Technology on their Own

We have all watched kids with a tablet right? They have no trouble figuring out what to do with it. This study conducted by MIT in both Africa and a lower-income area of the US demonstrated just that. When kids are given tablets with educational apps installed without any additional instruction are able to use the devices appropriately and begin learning. Is this to say they don't need teachers? Not at all; however, in areas where the teacher/student ratio is very low or the students don't have access to electronic devices, they are able to fare better with the tablets rather than not having additional help.

Could technology eventually replace teachers? Don't think so but could help teachers be more productive.
