I don't think so. thanks....
I don't believe that the role of teachers is diminishing but rather evolving.
In education, one must always remember that technology is an enabler and rarely is it a replacement to the given job function. For example, the need for the library is being replaced by the availability of online journals, digital texts and online platforms such as Edx and Coursera BUT the need for knowledge has not changed. For the librarian who used to manage a physical library now has to evolve their skillsets to manage digital archives of information. The role does not change but rather the application of that particular role.
In the same context, a teacher's role does not disappear. One will still need to translate information into knowledge that a student will understand. In fact, in this instance, the role of the teacher becomes even more important as students will have to be taught how to use supporting technology within the new context that is being taught, as well as being able to deliver material that can sustain the student's line of thought for prolonged periods of time (needless to say, there is a lot of distractions that technology can bring to the table such as social media and networks, and games).
As an example, you can refer to Jordan Shapiro's independent piece on his view on "Educational Technology" http://www.forbes.com/sites/jordanshapiro/2013/08/26/we-need-more-edtech-but-less-technology-in-the-classroom/#16896b3a292f
Technology never force students to study,
But a teacher force a student to study to make the students future bright.
Technology don't want to make a student's future bright.
