It is not intended to be a replacement of a teacher in the classroom. I know there are fears that teachers could become dispensable quickly, but that is not the intention. It is just a tool that allows the teacher to roam around the classroom and supervise what the kids are actually doing, especially in mixed ability classes where kids are in mainstream who may be coming from a special needs unit and are being integrated into the mainstream. It is a good tool for teachers.
