The document discusses the advantages of smart classrooms in enhancing student attentiveness and interaction during lessons by utilizing advanced technologies like interactive whiteboards, document cameras, projectors, and public address systems. It highlights challenges such as teachers' unfamiliarity with technology and inadequate training as barriers to effective implementation. To overcome these, it suggests mandatory training and proper installation of equipment to maximize the benefits of a technology-driven education system.

1. How to keep
students
wide awake
&
attentive
in the classroom?
TECHNOLOGY has answer:
SMART CLASSROOMS

2. 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.

3. As a
result,
students

4. Teaching & Learning Experience becomes…
but, don’t worry…….

5. TECHNOLOGY is …
LIFE LINE
The Innovation. Smart Classrooms

6. , How do they
look like?

7. First, get familiar with the
components of a smart classroom:
• Interactive Whiteboard
• Visual Presenter /Document Camera
• Projector
• MIC
• Speakers
• Digital Podium

8. 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

9. 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

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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

13. Gadgets are zero without human’s
100 %
contribution
What makes Smart Classroom
concept successful and ensure 100%
interaction between teacher &
students?
Equipments or Something else…
let’s see..

14. Q1:
What if teacher
does not know
how to use
computer?

15. Q2:
What if teacher
is unfamiliar
with internet?

16. Q3:
What if teacher
does not have
digital
coursework
content?

17. Q4:
What if teacher
is
resistant/lazy
to practice
technology?

18. Q5:
What if teacher
does not know
how to operate
smart classroom
equipments?

19. 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.

20. #TRAINING
#Enforcement through mandate
#Perfect Installation & Demonstration
are the easy solutions to meet the challenges
of implementing technology in education system.

21. Let’s step together towards
technology driven education
system for more interactive
teaching and more awake
learning!
