The word smart itself here indicates that it has been designed for bright and sharp minds of the young and enthusiastic learners of today. Nowadays, the role of the teacher and the students both have changed.
Teacher now is a facilitator who provides the children scaffolding and the children build up their own building of imagination and creativity. Minds of children are designed in such a way that they have better understanding of new technology. A two or three year old child knows how to operate a smart phone. Their brains are no less than computers with in-build knowledge of operating the smart features of the upcoming technologies.
Based on this perception, smart classes have been incorporated in the field of education. Smart classes are like power point presentations which enable the learners to grab the concepts easily. They are of great help to teachers in providing comfortable and interesting environment to the students.
Students today are no more passive listeners but they are active participants who demand for an interactive classroom to express their ideas, feelings and emotions freely. The audio-visual depiction of the concepts enables the learners to relate the concepts with their daily lives and also develops better understanding of them.
Not only this, the different features of the smart classes help the teachers in assessing the students there and then with the help of various activities and questions designed appropriately for each concept. It also attracts the learners because of their curiosity of learning through play way method.
Apart from the concepts of the syllabus, it also covers activities for the children to enhance their vocabulary, thinking skills and creativity. But teachers still play an important role in a child’s life because the emotional bond of being a friend, guide or an instructor technology cannot play. The motivation that a teacher provides is very much valuable for the children.
Smart classes are like a helping hand to the teachers for providing activity based learning and make school a better and interactive place of learning.
