If the government plans to make a smart school by applying IoT concepts, how can each of the following be implemented in order to transform a school into IoT-enabled smart school?

(a)

e-textbooks

(b)

Smart boards

(c)

Online Tests

(d)

Wifi sensors on classrooms doors

(e)

Sensors in buses to monitor their location

(f)

Wearables (watches or smart belts) for attendance monitoring.

Explanation

The textbook explains IoT as a network of devices with embedded hardware and software that communicate and exchange data. It emphasizes devices working in collaboration to create an intelligent network, with sensors detecting information and sending wireless signals to centralized computers for analysis. The smart city examples (earthquake detection, bridge monitoring) demonstrate how sensors can detect and alert authorities. Applying these principles to a smart school, each component uses sensors/connectivity to communicate data to centralized systems, enabling remote access, monitoring, and intelligent automation.
