About Smart Classrooms

 

While the smart city mission has a large focus on developing public infrastructure, it is also about creating smart citizens who can operate fluidly within this new environment. These citizens can only be made smart if they are educated hand-in-hand with technology. In keeping with that goal, CSCL strives to create a model to equip schools with technology-based digital learning zones for students and teachers to maximize learning outcomes for a smarter future which can be replicated in other schools in the city.

The 28 classrooms, selected by the Greater Chennai Corporation’s Education Officer at various Corporation schools, are equipped with electricity, network connectivity and other relevant furniture required creating smart classrooms with the technical support provided by Samsung India Electronics.
