IoT- A practical Approach:-

As we think about the practical approach of IoT, the students can take the advantage of new technologies to complete cool new projects. Students in science classes might use RFID to tag sample specimens in the wild so they can take notes without leaving the classroom.Textbooks could be scanned to receive instant additional resources and assignments.These IoTs will make the students highly tech literates rather than being a literate.

IoT for Special Need Students:-

This Technology of IoT will be very helpful for the Special Need Students.  For Instance, a visually impaired student can access IoT technology to learn things comfortably. They can take care of the issue, which also builds self-confidence and promotes independence. Its damn sure that the IoT will establish a personalized experience in learning and curiosity.
