==== Digital class ====
==== Digital class ====
This term is usually used to suggest the use of computers along with a projector (with or without internet connectivity) in the class by the teacher. The use of a computer with projector should get integrated into teaching-learning such that the teacher sees these as another set of pedagogical tools which she may use when she sees their relevance, and all classrooms should be equipped with these, to provide that opportunity to the teacher. Hence (like in the case of many other items like 'digital camera', the word digital should drop off).
==== Simulation ====
The term 'smart class' is also used synonymously, however it is better to avoid using this term, since 'smartness' cannot and should not be a function of digital tools alone. 'Digital class' is a factual statement, while 'smart class' is a description which may not be true.
