Internet of Things and wearable devices are gradually revolutionizing modern K-12 schools

For many analysts, Internet of Things and wearable devices are gradually revolutionizing the way education is being imparted in modern K-12 schools.

According these analysts, Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to convert conventional schools to smart schools and classrooms with various devices connected to each other, performing functions without human intervention. Students will be connected to RFID scanning objects and iPads or tablets with personalized curricula being delivered to their desks.

Technavio Research reveals that, various companies, including Scanmarker, SMART, IPEVO, and IdeaPaint, are entering the education sector with innovative IoT-based products, including digital highlighters, wireless interactive boards, and dry-erase whiteboard paint.

These products are allowing teachers to modify regular classrooms and teaching methodologies into smart classrooms and evolving teaching patterns. IoT and wearable devices are expected to create an immersive learning environment for students.
