Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
Technology that reads emotional expressions ? I think that is a great idea, it would help students learn so much more. It would also keep them involved and paying attention. Having the computers detect emotions could help in the long run.

If the computer could tell if the student was bored or uninterested it could change the lesson and make it an activty less boring. Maybe not even less boring but more interactive with the students. An activity that the student will actually want to participate in. The activity could still have all the material the student needs to learn but in a form that makes him want to learn it.

If a student became confused the computer would be able to recognize that , it could come up with ways to help or it could send an email or something to the techer to inform them your confused. Some kids are to shy to ask their teacher for help so they just sit there daydreaming because they don´t get it. Most times they fail that subject because they never got the help they needed to understand the lesson or subject.

In paragraph 6 Dr. Huang stated that most human comunication is nonverbal, so their facial expresstions are going to tell you how they feel about something or give an idea about what they want to say about something. so if a student likes something the computer can detect that which could then help teacher pick lessons that he or she knows the students like beacuse the computer showed it. It would make lesson planning less of a pain for teachers.

Having technology be able to detect our emotions would help in the classroom , not only for the students but for the teachers too. Students will become more involded and interested in the lessons they have to do. Teachers won´t have to struggle to find lessons that will get everyone to learn the material while having fun. More kids will pass their classes. All of these postitve things coming from the computers being able to tell how someone is feelings, i think its an idea that is going to work.
