Strange but true: there has previously been little physical, digital, or theoretical connection between smart homes and smart cities. But that is changing. Governments, businesses, and citizens are increasingly seeing the smart home as the obvious missing link in the creation, expansion, and improvement of smart cities.

“Existing classroom technology in schools and other educational facilities is often outdated and does not offer the functionality that modern digital and media-rich education should encompass to increase student engagement and learning outcomes.” Smart cities need education facilities and school systems which ensure students acquire 21st century skills, including “digital literacy, inventive thinking, effective communication, teamwork and the ability to create high-quality projects. In order to reach this lofty goal, educators need to focus technology on the key building blocks of student achievement.” A report from the U.S. Department of Education indicates “a digital use divide continues to exist between learners who use technology in active, creative ways to support their learning and those who predominantly use technology for passive content consumption.”
