“The temptation to cheat was suddenly just two clicks away.” These are the words by Geoffrey Fowler, Technological columnist in Washington Post.
He writes for the introduction of “Aid for Work” by Google. “Fowler reports that innovation is a button on Chrome that” automatically appears on the types of courses used by the majority of American students and many high schools “. Translated, allows students to” deceive “work and tests.
Fowler writes that teachers who talked about it “worried”, and Google then stopped its exciting progress. This is very bad. Help to work could deeply improve education.
How we know that the above is true can be found in the happy fact that more than a few teachers are worried. Worried about what is ahead is a firm for businesses of all lanes. As the co -founder of Home Depot Arthur Blank has put it, “Regardless of your business, you cannot stay stationary for any time or your competitors will scratch and force all of you.” Since there is still no stop in the business, those that remain openly are constantly evolving in the improvement of the customer.
What applies to businesses was often not true for education. And this is not a public -friendly public that digs as much as a comment that either public or private, it is rare to see or the species coming out of business on the basis of failure to evolve. After all, age enhances school perception. Special private schools have enjoyed how long they have passed, for how long they have “shaped” the people who are allegedly creating the future.
While profit trade literally has the power of the weakness with which the past is relentlessly replaced by the newcomers who create a completely different future, educational institutions earn once again prestige from how much their methods reflect on how. With education, nostalgia for the ways of old sales. Something is wrong with this picture, but the good news is that Google and others have the ability to change it deeply.
With computers and the internet at all times in consultation with the proliferation of artificial intelligence, they will increase the range of ways that students will have to do for them. Good. In fact, wonderful. Think about the job to understand why.
Its relentless mechanism does not shrink human beings or makes us lazy, but it enhances our value in our work and employers precisely because it liberates us to do much more. Learning is no different. Educational progress, such as the progress of work, is a function of what we no longer need to know or make.
What is good for students should be good for their trainers. Technology that allows cheating on tests and work will not put teachers on bread lines as long as they force them to develop all new ways of teaching. The competition lifts us. Thinking about work on its own, just because it was always the most unpleasant aspect of school does not mean that it should always be.
The main thing is that good or even big is not enough. If education is as important as they say, then it is significant enough to be usually disturbed. Google should not stop “home help” simply because its healthy existence is the material of much better educational results.
