• In smart classes, a smart board is installed in the classroom, where the subjects are taught by projecting content on a screen.

24th February 2020, Thoothukudi: Sterlite Copper sponsored two smart classrooms at Government Middle School, Metilpatti village, Thoothukudi to equip students with advanced academic learning.

By using smart classroom technology and interactive whiteboards, information can be illustrated with the help of photos, maps, graphs, flowcharts and animated videos. This makes learning more attractive, interesting and easy to understand. It encourages the ability of students to learn and memorize the topic for a prolonged period of time.
The technology is set to benefit more than 100 students. The smart classroom installation was inaugurated on the school’s Annual Day, 21st February, 2020.

Villagers and stakeholders from nearby villages participated in the event.
