What is a SMART / DIGITAL classroom?
When technology is introduced in the classroom it is called Technology enabled education or education using digital Aids. I am an 80's Kid. I grew up in traditional chalk and blackboard environment and being a topper of class, I was forced to sit in the first lane taking all the chalk dust onto my face and uniform. Of course, this does not have to do with this context, just I wanted you to remember that I grew up in the traditional education system.
English and Telugu were okay, but when biology and physics and chemistry were taught it was a fun time for us. Because our teacher used to draw a diagram and she used to take 15 minutes and our class was 40 minutes duration. After drawing she could get only 25 minutes times to explain. While the teacher was drawing on the board, we were busy with our in-door and on-bench games. Similarly, the same scene for physics and chemistry classes. Ample time used to go waste in the drawing.
And many times, we could not visualize what the teacher explains. Sometimes it was very difficult to remember too. Somehow we passed out and if you ask me, I don't remember anything I learnt that time as it was never registered in my brain. But, I can tell the story of Nagarjuna's Shiva or Chiranjeevi's Gang leader Movie story, fully even though I saw it almost 25 years back. So, is this because I lack interest in education? and interest in movies?
The answer is NO. Even though I had an interest in education, my brain did not register the subject. My brain registered only English or Telugu subjects as I don't need to visualize anything. In the case of biology, and physical science, I need a lot of visuals to register which was missing in those days.
Educational experts say,Ninety per cent of the information we receive is visual, and the human brain processes images 60,000 times faster than text. This was not the latest statement; it was discovered 50 years ago. But due to the non-availability of technology, our teachers used to physically draw the maps.
Thanks to the internet and digital gadgets, our children have got the best advantage. Some years back Smart classroom and was a luxury and only available in fewer schools and may be one projector per school. Now, Smart TVs are available at 12,000 prices hence many schools are having an interactive panel or smart TV in every classroom. Every student can see Animated Digital Content with high-end graphics, images and voice-overs so that whatever the student is seeing will be registered to the minds fully thus making it super advantageous for them.
A few years back internet availability was too costly affair hence only a few kids had the luxury of owning a Student Learning App.
Thanks to many internet service providers, we are getting the internet for very affordable prices.
