How Internet of Things can make Education Smarter?
Engagement of Students: Digitalized study materials and smart technologies can help to increase the engagement rate of students over traditional learning methods. Perhaps, this would be the key benefit that IoT can offer to the modern education.
Safety of Students: A recent incident can be pointed out here – when Fraser Public Schools in Michigan added video sensors through their campuses, it was found fighting incidences between students dropped to zero. Students had known they would be punished if any of such videos got recorded. So, at least in campuses, such incidences came to an end.
Connect Academies: You might have heard of tools like C-Pen. These digital highlighters are capable of transforming printed text into digital format and that can be saved into our gadgets. Suppose, a student sitting in a class can interact with educators around the globe. Teachers can give students a real-time experience of the subject through sensors and live feeds monitoring.
Care for Special Needs Students: Various connected devices are available now – in order to help students with special needs. For example, a visually impaired student after using such an IoT device can able to read the text on his computer easily without asking for a second person’s help. This can aid to his/her self-confidence to yield better productivity.
