Abstract

Education remains one of the most important economic development indicators in Saudi Arabia. This is evident in the continuous priority of the development and enhancement of education. The application of technology is crucial to the growth and improvement of the educational system in Saudi Arabia. Introducing SMART Table technology in the Saudi Arabian education system is argued in this paper as being able to assist teachers and students in the process of accommodating both technological changes and new knowledge. SMART Tables also can enhance the level of flexibility in the educational system, thus improving the quality of education within a modern Saudi Arabia. It is crucial to integrate technology effectively and efficiently within the educational system to improve the quality of student outcomes. This study will consider the potential benefits and recommendations associated with the adoption of SMART Tables in Saudi Arabian education system.

The application of technology in the education system offers the opportunity for primary pupils to interact, discuss, and share information in the process of grasping vital knowledge from their teachers. Teachers have the opportunity to design the learning objectives and activities within the table to enhance the process of transmitting information to the pupils This is receiving positive acceptance from the teachers and students in Saudi Arabia, where it is being implemented, because of the ability to encourage connections between the learners and the teachers.
