Modern technologies complement traditional education with interactive exercises and activities related to the tablet PC. In this way the teacher makes lessons more interactive and interesting, while also promoting cooperative learning. This changes the role of the teacher, who is no longer just the information transmitter, but leads the students and encourages them to actively learn and also to think critically about learning content and everyday things. The practice in the pilot project ‘Implementation and use of e-content and e-services’ (National Education Institute) showed that the introduction of any technology has both advantages as well as disadvantages and that it is appropriate that the teacher tests a teaching tool before introducing it into the learning process. Students are very receptive to all innovations. But when these are not introduced wisely, students quickly get bored, which ruins the original purpose of introducing them. The examples of good practice also indicate that the tablet PC, e-content and e-learning materials can be used in all subjects, at all stages of learning, regardless of whether it is to learn and acquire new content or to revise and mark it. It is also easier to evaluate and analyze work, because the tablet PC provides a range of activities that prepare the students to think about their work and exchange experiences and opinions.
