How to keep

students

wide awake

&

attentive

in the classroom?

TECHNOLOGY has answer:

SMART CLASSROOMS

Before taking the final call to the question…..Let’s study a few backdrops of traditional classrooms.

Poor Teacher’s Voice Audibility. Teachers face blackboard and show back to students.Maximum interaction with chalk and duster instead of students. Once rubbed, all class notes are dead.Referring book content is difficult.Explaining experiments or 3D dimensional objects is a challenging task.Visibility till the last bench is doubtful.Delivering uniform lectures is not possible.

As a result, students

Teaching & Learning Experience becomes…

but, don’t worry…….

TECHNOLOGY is …

LIFE LINE

The Innovation. Smart Classrooms

, How do they

look like?

First, get familiar with the

components of a smart classroom:

• Interactive Whiteboard

• Visual Presenter /Document Camera

• Projector

• MIC

• Speakers

• Digital Podium

Interactive Whiteboard

It is a replacement of traditional blackboard that writes with your finger instead of chalk.Runs with power supply; it has advanced software that facilitates “internet connectivity” , “library of geometric figures and general diagrams”, “annotation features”, “USB ports to connect with external devices”, “ save and share notes” and “record session” features .

It comes in three technologies:INFRARED, OPTICAL & ELECTROMAGNETIC

Visual Presenter

It is also called document camera; it enables instructors / teachers to share book content or real objects (2D or 3D) with all students in the classroom. Visual Presenter captures everything placed on its smooth surface and displays it on the projection screen or interactive whiteboard. The projected larger image helps connect teacher and student to the lesson more precisely and specifically.

It has three variants:DESKTOP, GOOSENECK & PORTABLE

PROJECTOR

It is an equipment that transforms a small resolution signal into a high resolution projection through laser light. It has high lumens bulb that throws high intensity light on interactive whiteboard or projection screen for bright and big content (text, images or video). The device has buttons to adjust brightness as well as projection dimensions. This is must to have in a smart classroom.

Many Brands are available like:BENQ, SHARP, SONY, DELL, Etc.

Public Addressing System(MIC & Speakers)

Isn’t it hard for teachers as well as students to reach and listen, respectively. It takes a lot of effort! MIC enables teachers to reach out even the last bench without stressing the vocal cords.Speakers enable students to listen to lectures attentively without any distraction from exteriors.

DIGITAL PODIUM It is an advanced smart classroom equipment that integrates all the previous-mentioned hardware devices into one enclosure –podium.Digital Podium has a touch panel (which is a mini interactive board), whatever instructors write on it gets projected on projection screen. It has fixed visual presenter for teachers to refer real time content instantly.It has integrated public addressing system (amplifier, MIC and speakers) for quality sound effects.

With this instructors can:Record, Save & Reproduce Lectures Preferred Brand: Infralab

What makes Smart Classroom concept successful and ensure 100% interaction between teacher & students? Equipments or Something else…let’s see..

Q1:

What if teacher

does not know

how to use

computer?

Q2:

What if teacher

is unfamiliar

with internet?

Q3:

What if teacher

does not have

digital

coursework

content?

Q4:

What if teacher

is

resistant/lazy

to practice

technology?

Q5:

What if teacher

does not know

how to operate

smart classroom

equipments?

This is reality!

Smart Classrooms are a show-business for

institutes to sell maximum seats.

TEACHERS don’t get official

training to use interactive

whiteboards, visual presenters

and digital podiums.

Smart Classroom Equipments are just hanged

on walls to brag about, but not to use.

#TRAINING

#Enforcement through mandate

#Perfect Installation & Demonstration

are the easy solutions to meet the challenges

of implementing technology in education system.

Let’s step together towards

technology driven education
