I remember when I was in school. Everything was on paper and we scribbled and doodled on the last page of our notebooks until there was no space left. When I look back, I realize how many resources were really needed for educating an 8th grader. Stationery, books, notebooks, millions of pen refills, the list goes on. Things then and things now are……way too different. But different is not a bad word here. Traditional classes with blackboards are being replaced with Smart classes, teaching is more perceptive than it used to be and technology is helping kids take notes without the help of a pen and a paper, something which is a big accomplishment — particularly in the Indian education scenario.
Which brings me to my next point: How important is a “Smart School” today?
A smart school is — as its name suggests — different from a traditional school. This is a kind of school where advanced equipment and technology are used to take the educational process forward.
The main idea is to provide the students with a learning experience that is a lot better than what may otherwise have been possible. No longer are age-old methods of lectures as effective or appreciated as they once were. These days, students want a learning experience that is a lot more interactive in nature and this is what a smart school provides them. A recent poll revealed that 75% of educators believe that digital content will replace textbooks by the year 2026, and there are more remarkable technologies on the way. In fact, choosing which innovations to bring into the classroom is somewhat of a challenge for educators. So, to sum it up, smart schools are pretty important today.
Another reason why we should switch to smart schools ~ educators has grown weary of traditional standardised testing frameworks. Now, digital testing is emerging as an empowering resource that allows educators to track student performance and measure learning improvement over time. Furthermore, institutions can leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) to develop customised student learning solutions based on test results. Let’s take a step outside of the classroom now.
We all know how important safety is when it comes to the school campus. The quality of a school’s grounds also plays a significant role in maintaining the health and wellbeing of students and staff.
All these needs are exceeded when you switch to Arnowa’s Smart School Management Systems. We include environmental monitoring to ensure campus facilities remain a healthy and safe space, optimised for learning. Our sensors and probes precisely monitor and report on the quality of air, water, and soil in real-time. Maintenance activities are pre-emptively triggered and sustainability initiatives are continually identified. The result is a healthy ecosystem in which students can learn and thrive.
We believe that education should not just be in the classroom, but that real-life lessons are learnt on the playground of life. With field experience using Smart technology-enabled devices, we encourage students to investigate, collaborate, and innovate with IoT-enabled devices. The result is a fun, holistic, and most of all informative learning experience! Want to partner with us? Visit our page or write to us here and we’ll get back to you with the best of solutions!
