Proper and efficient teaching by implementing smart schools

The purpose of this study is to investigate how school smartening affects teaching in schools equipped by electronic supplies. In this research, statistical population included 20 schools in Darab, Iran. For this purpose, questionnaires consisting of open questions and answers of 30 statistical samples were collected and analyzed and the reliability of questionnaire was .924 by Cronbach's alpha. The research showed that applying ICT in teaching could reduce the distance between “what is” and “what should be” in a short period of time. Solving physical problems of these schools can reduplicate their efficiency. Moreover, the entrance of specialist and skillful individuals can solve many of these school problems. Information and Communication Technology with the support of the Internet could provide an appropriate range for development of necessary opportunities in order to create new ideas in the worldwide.
