IoT in the Classroom
You may be unfamiliar with the term IoT( Internet of Things), but you likely use it every day. IoT is a network of devices connected to the internet that deliver real-time insights to connected devices, such as cell phones, laptops, or even your television. These“ smart” devices offer a unique benefit in the classroom in the form of interactive whiteboards, e-books, 3-D printers, security cameras, and attendance tracking systems. Use of IoT can remove barriers to learning such as location, language, and economic standing.
A recent TEDx article highlighted a Fargo, North Dakota, teacher, Kayla Delzer, and her use of technology in the classroom. She believes it can revolutionize education, but only if used correctly.“ Using technology simply for the sake of using it is wasteful,” Delzer says.“ If tech doesn’ t transform your classroom, your teaching or your students’ learning, skip it.” One easy rule of thumb: If a project can be done using paper or pencil but you’ re doing it on a computer or device, it’ s not transforming your classroom. The possibilities for technology in the K-12 classroom setting are endless and, if implemented correctly, change the course of education as we know it.
