Can teacher of the year be sacked?

That's what happened to Debbie Winsteen, California's Teacher of the Year!
Robot or teacher?

Can robots teach in classrooms? Will they be considered more expensive than real teachers? Will schools close down? Will this be a sort of back to the past when there weren't schools?

Let me tell you a bit about me. I am from Argentina, where I have carried out some research that showed a very small percent of secondary school teachers make actual use of the Internet in for their practices. I will be giving a talk next february to share ideas and resources with many colleagues who do not even know about web 2.0. I participate of classroom 2.0 but would like to start my own network so as to show my colleagues here what one can do whith sites like NIng(and also as a personal challenge!) If you could please join me at
http://teach-with-internet.ning.com/
and probably invite some of your colleagues, too. It would be very helful to start making the network grow!
Thanks a lot.
Paula
