Internet of Things is a concept that is based on the fact that all things are connected to the Internet. The technology Internet of Things encompasses all areas of human life and also education. The use of the Internet of Things technology in education brings significant benefits to disadvantaged students compared to the traditional education system. In this paper, the focus is on the use of the Internet of Things to help disadvantaged students and the need to integrate the Internet of Things into teaching to improve and facilitate learning through information and communication technologies. By analyzing scientific-professional literature and carrying out our research, we present an overview of the use of Internet of Things technology in education, with special emphasis on disadvantaged students. Research results suggest that the students who participated in the research are familiar with the benefits of using the Internet of Things technology in education and they all think that the Internet of Things technology can help them overcome the various obstacles encountered during the educational process. The paper also provides an overview of the main obstacles to the adequate introduction of Internet of Things technology in education, such as: orientation to the traditional education system, lack of educated staff, obsolete communication and technological equipment of the institution, interoperability of information systems, technology and devices, and similar.
