‘Smart teaching’ is a phrase we use to represent changes to teaching practices and processes underpinned by technology, new, different physical spaces and an interest to use more flexible, adaptable approaches to curriculum delivery.
The use of technology is often key in ‘freeing’ teaching from the constraints of place, time and paper and when combined with innovative use of physical space can help teachers to work with students in more flexible and mutually beneficial ways.
‘Flexible or adaptable teaching in an organisation encompasses:
- a range of ways to deliver classes face-to-face
- changes to the way teachers interact with students in class
- changes to the furniture and other tools within a classroom
- integration of online learning with what happens in the classroom
