===I chose the Siri software, voice recognition technology, that could be considered a disruptive technology. This week I discussed how the Siri software could be incorporated into the classroom in a similar format as distance learning or online learning programs in order to assist students. Students could utilize the software to assist them by asking questions or for clarification on content or concepts their need further understanding.===

===It may be a long shot, but I discussed the potential impact of this software on the role of the teacher in the classroom. I do not foresee this technology completely eliminating the role of a teacher in the classroom, but it could reduce the amount of time a licensed educator is required in the classroom. This could be a very cost-effective software that could impact the format of a traditional classroom.===
