According to the article, most schools are connected to the Internet and some teachers are trying creative new ways to teach with devices like iPods and mobile phones. However, educators say the most important thing is the content.
Cosmobot, a therapy robot, helps six-year-old Kevin Fitzgerald who has difficulty moving his mouth and tongue. Kevin's mother thinks the robot has had a calming influence, helping her son get along better with his friends.Cosmobot was developed to work with children with cerebral palsy, Down's syndrome, autism and other developmental disabilities and children become friends with the robot. That can have a big effect on their behavior, helping them work harder and longer in therapy sessions.
When I watched the movie "I Robot", I felt robot is sometimes scary and weird. However, Cosmobot is good for children with cerebral palsy, Down's syndrome, autism and other developmental disabilities and I realized robot can be a friend or doctor. I hope all children feel happy through communicating with robot.
