Background of the Study
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network of interconnected devices that communicate and exchange data through the internet. In the context of education, IoT can play a pivotal role in creating smart classrooms, where physical devices such as computers, tablets, sensors, and smartboards are integrated to enhance the learning experience. By leveraging IoT technologies, educators can create an interactive, efficient, and personalized learning environment that adapts to the needs of students. Smart classrooms offer a range of benefits, including real-time monitoring of student progress, dynamic learning tools, and enhanced communication between teachers and students.
In Bauchi Local Government Area, Bauchi State, the use of IoT in secondary schools is still in its infancy. While there is growing awareness of the potential benefits of smart classrooms, many schools lack the infrastructure and expertise to implement such technologies effectively. However, the integration of IoT in secondary schools could revolutionize teaching and learning practices, making them more engaging, interactive, and data-driven. This study explores the potential of IoT in creating smart classrooms in Bauchi, assessing how IoT technologies can improve educational outcomes and address the challenges faced by both students and teachers.
