–    Students learning in a fun, creative and interactive manner

Guyana will be joining developed and developing countries in its Smart Classrooms rollout which should appeal to students who are already struggling with the traditional method of teaching in a classroom.
Studies have shown that something that is taught visually rather than the one that is read through page after page tends to help students store the information faster and more effectively. As such, students of the 21st Century have the option of being taught in a smart class.
STARR Computers, in collaboration with technology giant, Samsung, has introduced the “Samsung Smart School” to enhance learning with the latest technologies. President Donald Ramotar and Minister of Education Priya Manickchand are very optimistic about the endeavor.
President of Starr Computers, Michael Mohan, underscores that smart classes use all interactive modules like videos and presentations and these visually attractive methods of teaching become appealing to students who are already struggling with the traditional method of teaching in a classroom.

It was explained that students can learn in a fun, creative and interactive manner, while the solution brings an enhanced learning environment where everyone has an equal opportunity to participate. In addition, there are options of a question and answer tool that gives students the opportunity to seek support during lessons.
Smart classes are almost like watching movies as sometimes animated visuals are used to teach a point. This kind of visual is eye-catching and young students can easily relate with them. This is because the audio-visual senses of students are targeted and it helps the students store the information fast and more effectively.
President of Starr Computers noted that one of the main reasons behind the constant increase in popularity of smart classes is the fact that this kind of education is perfect for all kinds of students. A classroom has students with varied power of understanding and learning, and studying from notes and other materials becomes difficult for some students.
But the use of smart classes and modern technology eases the learning process for all students. Moreover, this kind of education in class promotes more interaction between teacher and student with more participation from both sides.

The possibilities or advantages of smart classrooms are endless. Although adopting such a new concept might be a tough decision for many, the technology can create a new opening for the education sector.
Nevertheless, the primary objective of Smart School management will be to manage efficiently and effectively the resources and processes required supporting the teaching-learning functions. Management will help to reallocate skilled human resources to more valuable activities, save costs over the long term, improve the quality of decisions through better access to information, and accelerate decision making.

The Smart Classroom Solution is a complete digital education package consisting of Samsung tablets, a server and software. Samsung said it was piloting Smart Schools in 24 countries. The most advanced projects include schools in its home city of Seoul, South Korea; in Sydney, Australia; and in Memphis, in the United States. (Last year, Samsung USA made a YouTube video about its school.)
It has now started a pilot programme in the United Kingdom. In its Smart School pilot projects, Samsung has been supplying teachers and some whole classes with their own personal devices. All information on students’ tablets will be controlled and seen by the presiding teacher, since all devices will be interconnected.
