Smart teaching methods help the teachers simplify the subject to a great extent. The tools make the subject easy to understand, which helps the student grasp the subject more easily and helps them retain knowledge for a longer period of time.

With the availability of a large number of smart tools, the teachers can employ several visual and audio tools to explain the concepts which would have to be otherwise explained using the conventional lecture method. The teachers can easily use all the tools available at hand to make the learning process seamless and fun for the students.

The students are motivated:
Due to the large instance of interesting audio-visuals in the digital classroom, the students develop an innate level of interest in the class proceedings.

The creativity and imagination capabilities of the student are boosted. The application and logical skills of the student are also boosted.

The organization of virtual parent-teacher meetings is an easier affair when compared to the physical mode of parent-teacher meetings.
