20,000 classrooms of Delhi government schools to get smartboards

Sixteen classrooms at Shaheed Amir Chand Sarvodaya Vidyalaya on Shankaracharya Marg have already been transformed into smart classrooms by installing hi-tech smart boards.

Delhi government schools are all set to smart boards in almost 20,000 classrooms. The initiative is being taken as a part of a process to transform themselves into smart schools. According to TOI, Sixteen classrooms at Shaheed Amir Chand Sarvodaya Vidyalaya on Shankaracharya Marg have already been transformed into smart classrooms by installing hi-tech smart boards.

In order to review the transformation process and understand the working of smart boards, Education minister Manish Sisodia has recently visited the schools. “All these smartboards are equipped with state-of-the-art technology that will not only make the teaching-learning process joyful, but also help children learn better,” said the deputy chief minister.

The minister further added, “With the integration of technology, children will have access to all online learning resources. Modern cameras will be installed in classrooms for live recording. These recorded videos can be accessed by students and teachers for educational purposes, whenever required.” Reports suggest that the conversion into smart classrooms will be done in a phased manner. Teachers of these schools will receive special training to make better use of the smart boards for improving the quality of education at schools.

The minister added, “In the past five-six years, the infrastructure of Delhi’s schools has become world-class. Five years ago, there were no benches and proper blackboards in classrooms, today the Delhi government is making those schools smart and equipping them with smart technologies.” Talking about the dream of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar regarding imparting quality education to each child, Sisodia, added that the government wants to fulfill his dream. “We are determined to do that,” the minister said.
