text: To conclude, Facial Action Coding System is a great new thing, but not good for a classroom to read the emotional expressions of students. This would not be beneficial because the computer would not help students be more engaged if they know they are being watched by a computer and the class would be less interested in the material and it'd be no fun at all. Also, the computer has no real way to connect with the students like a teacher could and form a bond together. That is why a computer to read emtions would not be beneficial to classrooms. In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile," the author describes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions. The use of this technology, to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom, is valuable. I believe this technology would be great to use in a classroom. It would really help the teacher with his or her lesson. Dr. Huang predicts that "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored". If a simple classroom computer can determine a students' emotions, that would be a great assistance to a teacher. The teacher would then know if he should go into greater detail or if he should make his lesson plan a little more interesting.
