Smart objects have sensors that allow them to store and share information about themselves and their surroundings, enabling them to interact with other connected objects. Examples of smart objects used in classrooms include smart badges that track student attendance and participation through built-in sensors, and smart tables that can identify and track objects placed on their surfaces. Smart objects represent an emerging technology that is becoming increasingly sophisticated and can help classrooms integrate new technologies in ways that improve efficiency.

2. WHAT ARE SMART OBJECTS?
 Smart objects know themselves and their surrounding which
allow them to correctly respond to connect with other objects .

 These objects have sensors in them which allow them to store
and share the information. These smart objects have Radio
Frequency Identification (RFID) and Quick Response code (QR)
to help transport the information and to take it all in.

 Smart objects are/can/ and will be used everywhere: industrial
workplaces, in your pocket, and also in schools!

3. EXAMPLES OF SMART OBJECTS IN USE IN THE
CLASSROOM
 UCLA did an experiment on a Kindergarten class room by
emerging the smart objects into it.

Smart badges- This badge has sensors built in it which could do
many things when the students where it; it could keep track of
attendance and participation by the student, etc.

 Smart Table- It can identify when objects are on the table and
are moved.

4.  Smart objects are a great part in the emerging of technologies.
They keep on getting smarter and smarter.
 They can be used in many ways to help your classroom become
more efficient and up to date with the technology.
