Modern times and technology allow us to make our educational work at school more interesting with the use of smart devices and therefore motivate pupils to learn and work. Together with pupils we decided to use ICT in the optional/elective subject Drama Club during this school year. The celebration of The Slovene Cultural Day – Prešeren’s Day was organized slightly differently, because our script included interactive elements. An interactive DVD-projection of images that illustrated France Prešeren’s life was used instead of a usual scene. At the event the acting of pupils was intertwined with interactive inserts; a reportage and two film scenes from Prešerens life filmed by the pupils attending Drama Club were added to the script. In the reportage pupils were asked questions about the poet. All the videos were filmed with smart phones, edited in iMovie program and inserted in the DVD-projection, which was created in iDVD program. Pupils who took part in the organization of this event had the roles of reporters, actors and editors. At the event itself they also played the role of a teacher, because they presented Prešerens life and work to other pupils in a very interesting way. The use of ICT elements has definitely achieved its aim, the event was enlivened and the pupils were motivated to work. ICT made it possible for pupils to share their knowledge both in the process of organization as well as at the event itself.
