I believe the main issues in tablet teaching could be the proper kind of assessment for the class and the pupils. There is a need to adapt to the context-culture and skill level of the students. Furthermore school's rules on tablet use in teaching should be precise, clear and understandable to all. The teacher also should change his/her role and become more of a flexible facilitator and coordinator of the teaching and learning process. Autonomy, exploration and constant development are important factors in teaching with technology.

The cost of the tablets is a first challenge for our school. Furthermore networking and connection speed is still a problem for my area. An important issue is also the e-safety on using the apps. Language and cultural-context oriented apps and resources is also an issue for Greece and the Greek language. I also believe there is a need for quality training of the teachers in the use of tablets in class. Moreover it seems essential the adoption of a pre planning culture for the lessons involving the use of tablets by the teachers in order to effectively utilise them in classroom instruction.

I use tablets in the classroom because they engage pupils to fully participate in the tasks. They provide a flexible-personalised learning for each individual student. They could visualise knowledge and the subject under study. They promote collaboration in groups and manage to increase communication between learners through communication apps and tasks. They can organise and present knowledge and information in a more attractive and visual form. They increase deep knowledge and learning on the given subjects. They enforce inquiry based instruction and increase critial and collaboration skills. They motivate students to discover and evaluate information on the given tasks. They allow pupils to have access to a vast amount of info and knowledge and to select and evaluate the quality resources for the project they have. They can record information and presentation of the projects for later feedback and discussion in the class. They can introduce argumentative discussion through digital forum increasing thus their written and oral skills
