Robots Teach Children

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

The robotic takeover has already begun. Laugh while you can monkey boy.  Red the Robot is already teaching children phonics in the UK.

Red stands for rapid educational development and is manufactured by Impact International.  Red can read stories and quiz children on their ABC’s.

Over 200 have already been bought at a price of £130.  But some critics oppose Red the Robot, stating children should not learn phonics or that only teachers can really teach.

Learn what Red can do in this video.
