Abstract

In this digital era, technology plays a crucial role in education, particularly in the teaching of Social
Studies. This article aims to explore how the utilization of technology in building smart classrooms can
enhance the quality of learning in Social Studies subjects. The research employs a descriptive qualitative
methodology, utilizing literature studies and interviews with educators and education experts. The
findings indicate that the use of technology, such as advanced hardware, educational applications, and
the internet, can enhance student interactivity, broaden access to learning resources, and create more
engaging and compelling learning experiences. By optimally integrating technology, smart classrooms
can help students better understand complex Social Studies concepts through more dynamic and
interactive media. This research concludes that technology can be a highly effective tool for enriching
Social Studies education, and its proper application will positively impact education as a whole
