Week 5- Internet of Things

Design an object that could be classified as belonging to "The Internet of Things" and describe how it could contribute to your classroom?

This week lets start with a definition of what is the internet of things. According to Kobie (2015) the internet of things is about connecting devices over the internet, letting them talk to us, applications, and each other. An example of a device that falls into the internet of things category is a smart fridge.

According to Matthew Lynch, there are many examples of the Internet of Things including wearable devices, personalized learning, personalized learning, report automation, smart classrooms, and remote learning (Lynch 2019).

The object I designed this week is a tablet that allows students to have personalized learning. The tablets will be equipped with software that allows teachers to input data and creates personalized lessons and tests to meet each students unique needs. The tablets also let teachers stay informed with the students learning and see where they might be struggling.
