Read the texts and tick (v) B (Biometrics) or N (Nanolearning).
Biometrics
No more worries about truancy and cheating! Just introduce biometric applications at your school. With fingerprint scanners, or facial or voice recognition technologies, schools will be able to check students’ attendance. Teachers will no longer need to call students’ names to find out who is absent. This will make more time for activities!
Schools can also use these biometric applications for students who borrow books and equipment. Even more amazing, teachers can even use the eye-tracking applications to check students’ understanding of a lesson and to motivate students to learn.
