This book is about the Internet of Things in the field of education. Specifically, it focuses on two major topics: IoT (Internet of Things) solutions to support distance education and new pedagogical approaches to support development of computational thinking with educational devices possessing the characteristics of IoT. As the educational landscape has dramatically changed in times of global pandemic, online resources and media, such as IoT, have become increasingly important. This situation compels all educational scholars, researchers and practitioners to search for new solutions, new educational pathways and new agents for knowledge development to support learning.  This book presents the possibilities of IoT  as both a catalyst and performance tool for education.  The convergence of multiple technologies, real-time analytics, machine learning, commodity sensors, and embedded systems can serve as tools for learning support and this book details exactly how these powerful tools can be utilized to best effect.
