Today we will be talking about SmartLabs. Have you ever wondered what the next century classroom would look like? Well here is a great example. Smart labs are designed for the exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics or in short STEM, In other words STEM is the acronym for learning digital media arts and other academic topics through applied technology. Smart labs are turn-key classroom systems that include all the necessary equipment for student-centered learning environments. They include the hardware, software, scientific and media equipment, hands-on constructions kits, and even flexible furniture systems. In smart labs, technology is fully integrated into core learning in eight subject areas including: 1. Mechanics and Structures 2.computer graphics 3. science and data aquisition 4. publishing and multimedia 5. alternative and renewable energy 6. robotics and control technology 7. circuitry and finally 8. computer simulation Skills learned for the 21st century include critical thinking & problem solving, collaboration and communication, project planning and resource management, information and media literacy, and self direction and adaptability. Smartlabs also has the ability to help instructors personalize the needs of varying student academic levels. Results have shown that students using smartlabs show improvements in standardized tests because students are engaged, challenged, and fully immersed in core subject learning.
