As our schools priorities we defined: ICT usage in the course of instruction, introduction of e-contents and e-services as well as the development of digital literacy. In order to efficiently perform these tasks we joined the e-project which enabled us to use tablet computers in grade 7 instruction. All components of our lessons contained work with i-textbooks which made it possible to evaluate both, their quality as well as the advantages of their use. We were active in virtual classrooms – the students were able to gain new knowledge independently and via different methods of work. In surplus they learnt from each other. During our lessons we used different e-contents, e-services, e-sources and mobile applications. The presentation is based on concrete examples which were most frequently used in Science classes (with focus on the flipped learning combined with reading and learning strategies). The usage of tablet computers with practical work also proved to be interesting. At the same time we assessed the students work and evaluated to what extend the learning objectives were reached and ICT skills upgraded. Besides that we tried to establish whether the usage of e-contents and e-services ameliorated the students understanding or knowledge and whether it activated higher order thinking in them. We summarized the feedback of observed lessons and tried to find out in which cases the usage of tablet computers contributed to the higher quality of instruction.
