Sašo Herlah, Prva OŠ Slovenj Gradec

In the project Introduction and use of e-contents and e-services as well as e-school bag and e-books with an emphasis on science subjects in primary schools are included 9th grade students and teachers of different subjects of Prva osnovna šola Slovenj Gradec. We were able to provide Android Tablet PCs for students and teachers. Students openly excepted the work with Table PCs and e-textbooks. In first year of the project (which was last year) e-books had just been starting to develop. In the beginning we had some problems in its use, however we found some useful online tools (applications in online store) that were also used during the lessons. Advantages of using e-textbooks? In addition to text and images, they offer animations and video clips of experiments which pupils can watch, stop and repeat at anytime, since it is more difficult to implement such event several times. Interactive exercises are generated again and again, which allows to solve them multiple times and to examine the solution. Each time a different exercise is originated. Teachers, for example, perform planned sample lessons using tablet PCs. These lessons are open to all inquisitive co-workers in the project and also other teachers, who are interested in the use of tablets. We also invite consultants of Institute of Education Office RS for each subject area to examine and consult each lesson where we use tablet PCs.
