The Rise of The Robot Teacher - The Tech Edvocate | iPads, MakerEd and More  in Education | Scoop.it

"Machines have become part of our daily lives. Many homemakers use a Roomba or a iRobot to sweep their floors daily. Talk robot companions like Tapia serve as useful companions who alert, remind, encourage and support their owners in domestic capacities. Interactive robots are making their way into schools, as well. Finland and other countries, for example, have already experimented with instructional robots. These machines ask questions, listen for responses, and read facial expressions as they interact with students. Educators have found five interactive robots particularly useful for academic and social learning."
