The new revolutionary program in school education system, 'Smart Classes' has changed the very concept of learning (classroom teaching).It's an innovative technology that has aimed to revolutionize the way teachers teach and students learn in class. Obviously, this methodology has proved beneficial for the students.

                    Firstly, the curriculum is converted into animated visuals which not only become an enjoyable experience for students but they can also relate to and remember facts easily. For them, while learning in the classroom it becomes a thrilling and exciting experience, at the end they find abstract and difficult concepts easy to comprehend thereby enhancing their academic performance. Such teaching helps to maintain the student's interest and focus by engaging them fully for the entire learning experience.

                    Secondly, from the teacher's point of view, with the arrival of this digital initiative which is so practical to modern time and friendly to use, teachers can instantly evaluate/assess the learning achieved by their students in his/her class. If a concept taught is not understood then the teacher can repeat with greater clarity and emphasis. He/she can identify areas of student's strength as well as weaknesses. This ultimately help the student's for better understanding. Smart classrooms are very much beneficial in teaching-learning process in a school. We make use of audio-visual senses of students by using smart boards.

                    These smart boards are like computer screens which are finely handled by a teacher and also by students to provide active participation. Some of the benefits for Smart board used inside our classroom are:
1.Appeal to audio-visual senses: By using smart boards in our classrooms, we are appealing to both the audio sense and visual senses of students. Learning in such a way is very effective as the information is strongly embedded in kids' mind.
2. No wastage of time: In traditional type of classroom, a lot of time is wasted in drawing diagrams on the black/white boards, whereas in Smart-boards, diagrams are in memory and thus time is utilized more for the active learning part.
3. No chalk Dust: Some teachers and even front line students used to suffer from chalk dust getting into their eyes and lungs. This had ill effect on health. Using smart-board we are eliminating this health issue.
4. Virtual field trips : Students are taken virtually to field trips while teaching, say, a teacher is covering a lesson on desert animals, using smartboard, we could give a tour of desert like Sahara or Kalahari to teach this topic.
5. Marker Feature: Smart board teaching is not 'see-only’; we can use special markers to underline or mark an important location while teaching. We can even write on it to make the concept clearer.
6. Inbuilt library: Smart boards have an inbuilt library in it which enables a teacher to have an instant look at it in case of requirement. He/she may not have to scan a real library for this.
7. Active learning: Smart boards leads to active learning process where both the teacher and the students are involved. This leads to strong reinforcement of information in students.

                    It indeed is a matter of great pride that St. Josephs High School,Narasaraopet has introduced a world acclaimed technology integration program for teaching and learning in classrooms. The program is called smart class and has been developed by Educomp Solutions Limited, the most valued education company in India. Smart Class is designed to empower teachers with technology right inside classrooms, turning them into lively and vibrant learning platforms for students.

                    Smart class in the school brings a revolutionary change in the way students learn in classrooms increasing their interest in learning and academic performance. Smart boards have many advantages and every class room should have it for the use of teaching and learning process; though I strongly believe that only a strong motivation is the basic of any learning process and can be carried out in any situation

                    St. Joseph's is the only school in the town that has that many interactive smart class rooms. There are Educaomp Solutions Pvt. Ltd Smart class in which 13 Interactive White Board Systems (IWBS) and 15 Digital Teaching System (DTS) are present for students.
