I want to find ways to help my teachers engage their classes and make their own lives a little easier so that they can concentrate on teaching.

I think that being able to easily distribute documents and to quickly assess their students is a great way to lighten the load of unnecessary admin and time wasted. Being able to have instant feedback on quick quizzes can help pinpoint problems in understanding immediately. This helps prevent any children being left behind because they are too shy to ask.

I also think that tablets are a great way for students to learn from each other and to learn by creating and experimenting.

Why I want to use of tablets in my classroom?
-to give students a concrete feedback to their actions
-to make possible cooperative learning in every day’s activity
-to encourage peer-to-peer collaboration
-to allow easy access to apps and web tools.

I want to use tablets in my classroom in order
to share the new up-coming civilization with the students. I think I have to
guide them from the "book and paper culture" to a digital guided
world. One of teacher's missions is to link these ways of approaching life. Using
tablets in the classroom is taking care of student's interest and opening their
minds, widening

their horizons. My duty is to guide them from
a consumer's (I will mean player's) attitude to a reflexive use of digital informations.
Student's could surely teach me about downloading THEIR games, I would bring
them to learn with mine and reflect about the differences between learning with
books and writing with pencils and communicating with a tablet. These
differences have to be tested and discussed by the students. Teachers and
parents have to recognize that fun, pleasure and knowledge can provide from
both, paper and tablet. That can fill up the generation divide. One of schools'
rule could be organizing courses where student's teach and show tablets using
to their parents. This could be another way to a more collaborative society and
fill up the digital gap, too. I want to use tablets for students with SEN,
geometry or geography apps could be useful help for them. I suppose we will
find soon other possibilities! The school leader asked me to try one tablet for
the hole class. She thought it could be interesting for personalisation of
learning. We didn't think then about the other possibilities like inclusion and
collaborating. Having one tablet for the class seems an opportunity to go
quickly from the 1:1 use to collaboration.

I hope to avoid some of the critical mistakes.
To complete the five items, I join the one from Marcel Lebrun in
Paris, on 17th April 2015 (Journée de formation à l'outil numérique de

"Computers, tablets... and after that?" Here is the answer of a student mom when I announced that I wanted to buy tablets for my class.
Tablets are more than just "fashion". I did not buy them only in order to motivate my pupils, because I know that, sooner or later, a new technology will arrive and will make them obsolete.

In my case, I bought tablets to make my students more autonomous and active in their learning. It allowed me to individualize my teaching, in a class with different grades. In short, tablets are my assistants !

I am interested to use tablet in teaching economics and mathematics. It will give many new abilities to make the study process more effective. For example, in past my students made some financial documents for their business plans on paper and worked very hardly, last week we used for this work tablets: eacch student could use special compiuter programme for creating similar documents from the website www.verslilietuva.lt The same is with math...there are many ways to use internet resources for motivate students for more active and individual learning...

In my school, working with a Tablet is now standard.

Tablets a way to push the content to the students. Even if you are in the last raw, you can see the lessons.

Students can take notes directly on their tables.

It also allows interactions through quizzes.

For the student it is a modern tool. For the teacher it gives also a possibility to identify struggling students faster (quizzes) and opens new ways to moderate the teaching.

There are many reasons to use tablets at school.

1)with the tablets we can address learning styles beacuse we can teach the same learning objects in many different ways to different students.(i.e. through read,listen,and other)

2)tablets give pupils the largest knowledge database at their fingertips,making more accessible research.

3)tablets can assist pupils with special needs,with speaking or understanding problems,these devices can also help pupils with dyslexia.

4)History can be a difficult matter for young children who are stationed in the present day,but tablets can bring to ancient civilizations through videos,interactive apps,e-books and more also.It's all more funny!(and if a child is enjoying,he learns better.

I would like to use tablets because in this way my students would take a more active part in the lessons and we could reach to have a flipped classroom.

The problem we have at the moment is connectivity but once we solve it, we are considering to begin with this system. In the majority of the cases is not going to be an economic problem for families because they won´t need to buy books and in the case of people who couldn´t afford them (if there is any) we are considering a system of lessing.

We say - or think - that the "digital natives" = our students KNOW how to use a PC or tablet and they have "digital competences". Well, after using my own tablet - at the beginning - in classroom learning activities the last 3 years , I can definetely say: "They don't have digital competences!!!"

They know how to "surf" and find some answers for solving a problem or an answer to our questions and of course to play online games, but ... that's all folks :-)!

We, teachers, should/have to show them the way to prepare themselves for the future. A future with PC & tablets, with digital & collaborative competences!

Firstly, we, teachers, should/have to "prepare" ourselves / get involved / learn more - through further training :-) - about the material :-)

As I thougt about in #1 I would like to use tablets to let the pupils be more involved in the learning environment. Give them the tools to create, to create not only notes that is never used, but a diary of what they have done through a year of science class. And give them the possibility to advance according to their own level, like with the "flipped classroom" swimming instructional videos, to repeat tasks / explanations to remember and to get details and to have research at their fingertips. Not only limited to science and phys. ed. but also other subjects.

I am mainly a vocational course teacher. All the teachers in my teaching group, management and economics, always have a vocational class or two. These students are mainly centred on practical, motivational and day to day lessons. Many of these students are not very interested in learning for them being in school is compulsory so “normal” 19 and 20th century teacher centred lessons are rightly seen as boring. This does not mean that the teacher is substituted by these new technologies it just means that these tools can help us to motivate our students and to better prepare them for their future.

We have to use all that is within our reach to prepare our students to the world of work and the ICT are fundamental. I already have most of my classes in classrooms with 12 to 18 computers for the students to use. Therefore I already some of the mentioned benefits, the flexibility, personalized learning, following the students’ enquiries, App usage and supporting student creativity.

The tablets are an easier step forward. My school is entirely covered by a WIFI system so instead for have to have specific classrooms established for certain subjects or teachers with these devices we are able to have a lesson anywhere within the school grounds. I can think of many a lesson that is more attractive when we go outside on a nice spring day and sit outside developing our projects/tasks.

The BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy is difficult to implement. The school is an urban school but most of the students or their parents do not have the means to buy a device. This is a sensitive subject and the school has to be the changing force otherwise “The digital gap between social strata, between families of different economic levels and between individuals with different levels of digital literacy threatens to become increasingly evident” will become a reality. I am one of the lucky teachers because in my school we have school leaders that are sensitive and agree with this.

Students learn better, because learning with tablets helps to personalize learning. I teach literature and it`s extremely hard to have hard copies of all the books we need. Having tablets could solve the problem, because students could use online pdfs or I could share them the class`s electronic copy. Another important aspect is, as shown in the video, the fact that students consider the use of tablets as being a fun activity, through which they can learn and enhance their competencies. Also, with tablets, students can work on collaborative projects with their peers or with students from other schools, countries.

Why use tablets? Why not?

Is my answer to this question. Schools are not separated from everyday life. If we use tablets in our day to day activities why not use them at schools. The same with all the other devices we used in our lives along the centuries and that were adopted by schools.

People are always afraid of changes, of the security problems of every new technology that is introduced in the classroom.

My primary teacher was afraid to introduce a ballpoint pen after using a fountain pen for decades.

Nowadays the scientific discussion is about the introduction of robotics and coding in primary schools.

If it's better for your students, if devellops on them new skills, if motivates them for learning is a good investment. Also there's always the possibility of complementing your school devices with the students devices. The "Bring your own device" movement is one that we should look upon.

I look forward to the day with tablets for Romanian students. This fall we've got wi-fi conection in the class with the effort of the parents
and start using tablets and smartphones durring some classes. Since I have 3rd grade students we have some weak points & a lot of strong points. It was important for me that kids realized for the first time that a device
can be used not only for games, but also for knowledge, collaboration, or learning in class and also at home.
They became quickly capable to express themselves in the digital
environment and give good feedback to me and their parents - they find learning more interesting and more engaging. Parents understand that digital competences will influence children's success in life.
I think that tablets are a great tool for collaborative and independent
work and the use of ICT support learning process and allow us to
introduce different learning activities and to assess easier students

1. Digital competence is one of the key competences for the future. This competence will influence children's success in life as till now reading and writing was.

WHY WE SHOULD USE TABLETS IN CLASS?

Our society is changIng fast and it will be impossible to teach students like 100 yrs back, because as the world is changing the technologies are improving too, which makes our world much easier and easy success in life.

Tablets should be used in schools because i think they increase creativity in students, they are fun to use so students dont get bored,they are small which are easy to carry and the students are connected with news from all over the world

# data[].attributes.body
Since I have to reflect on using tablets, I need to refer to research on this subject. In the overview report about using Tablets in school, done by the University of Minho, it is stated that tablets seem capable of asserting themselves as the most widely used device to access digital content in educational environments. Their technical versatility and their relatively low cost make them accessible to the majority of the population in developed countries, enabling its widespread ownership. However, various issues arise regarding the real impacts on education and on social justice. On the one hand, having access to the equipment does not mean being able to use them to develop the required 21st -century skills. On the other hand, even if one is able to use tablets to improve digital literacy, communication network access conditions could negatively affect the advantages of their use in education. Educational policies and the promotion of curricula that are more or less “digital” will also affect the real value of these devices as educational tools and their effective contribution in improving education. From another point of view, there is a need to safeguard the interoperability of these mobile device platforms. In some cases, the community of open application developers is very active, providing the emergence of a critical mass that acts retroactively, but in other cases it is very small or inexistent, favouring the appearance of digital ghettos and elites. Another aspect that deserves our attention is that of ergonomics and the potential detrimental health effects from touch screens, both in terms of resolution quality and in terms of reactivity to user interaction.

In my opinion, the main reason for wanting to use tablets in school is the fact that they are accesible as price, are easy to carry and can provide you all the facilities a laptop could for a class. Tablets are a great tool for data recording, image/picture taking, collaborative and independent work, in the same time. I can only think how easy it would be to share a pdf, to work on a google doc, as a team.

Why would I need tablets? Because today`s students are digital learners, capable of expessing themselves in the digital world, sometimes better than in face to face situations. Therefore, I need to explore that competence and use it to help them learn and develop a colaborative team attitude.

The society is changing. As we teach students for the future we have to predict it.

If I would go back to class tomorrow, I would love to use tablets in my classroom because :

I found differentiating activities for different types of learners quite difficult

given that I only saw my students once or twice a week. By the time I had a good understanding of their learning needs too much time was already lost. The tablets would be a fantastic tool for the students to record data in the form of pictures, videos, measurements, etc. during those trips and to do research on-the-go. This would make the students much more independent in their learning during those projects.

# data[].attributes.body
We can’t continue teaching as 100 years ago. The society is changing. As we teach students for the future we have to predict it. Now a days, companies need collaborative, communicative, enterprising and creative workers, so, we have to prepare students with this abilities. The investment in tablet will strengthen all those possibilities in our classes. A 1:1 project enables all students access this potentials features in their daily learning and teachers to open a new way of teaching.

I believe that the use of tablets in school will give me the freedom to use ICT in my classroom, without caring whether there will be desktops in my school. The use of tablets will give me the freedom that i need as in Greece not all schools have a computer lab or there are not computers in all classrooms. On the other hand, nowadays almost every child has its own tablet, so that would be an opportunity to educate children how to use them for knoweledge, visualisation, collaboration, or learning in their own pace. Moreover, tablets give teachers the oppurtunity to create their own content and be more creative.

Tablets give us the opportunity for a learning environment where students run their own “class” outside of class and for 24 hours with peers, or even other teachers, and then come to school ready to take advantage of face-to-face opportunities. Tablets can empower students creatively to collaborate and share their work & ideas, to take more ownership of their learning, and to make deeper connections not only to the content, but also to their learning community.

ICT in education and quality education for students in general is a scope that requires clear vision, mission and values from the government realm and the school microcosm. It takes a lot of time to inform all the stakeholders about the benefits of an inspired vision, a well-defined mission and a set of pertinent values. But, most of all, it is difficult to find leaders that act as strategically-conscious and resilient sponsors to every effort that ensures quality education for students.

There is no doubt that tablet can be used as an innovation tool in the classroom and to improve the teaching outcome at all subject areas. But the use of tablets needs teachers who

a) know very well how to use the device and

b) to create effective lessons plans with them in order to obtain the best educative outcomes from the students.

I would strongly support the nvestment of the tablets in my school in case all the teachers had previously had trained at the use of them and they had a lot of practice. Students are experts to use tablets. Many teachers also use them for personal use. Using tablets for teaching and the engagement of them in the classroom is something different, more difficult and needs training and practice. Taking into account the situation in my school (we have IBs, some tablets, Ethernet connection and optional WI-FI  in all the classrooms), I would support the investment on the tablets together with the investment of the teachers training, NOT without the second part !!!

For my lessons they could do research on the spot. Now I have to hope there's a computerroom available to use.

The can explore the human body at their own pace without carrying a lot of large books that will be bad on their health.

We aren't using tablets at school, but we'd like. I think, some important benefits are:

- A more dinamic learning process, according with the new information channels
- Pupils can experiment, search and investigate following their own interests
- Increase pupil's motivation
- Make them understand deeply each concept and content

I need for physics laboratory 35 tablets to be used by our students durring classes and to be stored at school. (We have 30-35 students in a class). I think is a good long term investment for our school to buy tablets for each lab instead of buying tablets for each student. As a matter of fact, my students already use their smartphones connected via mobile data / WI-FI durring my classes. It is a fact that students don't spend too much time learning science, so if they are appropriate with technology /smartphones/tablets, why don't we offer them the opportunity to use them in the process of learning? A good practice example of learning physics is using together hands on activities with virtual experiments.

Let's think about I am being challenged with my school leader. Most probably it would be about the financial part of the tablets. I would tell him/her:

it is going to be cheaper for the school. The paper and the ink cost will decrease, along with the maintenance cost of the copiers. We can evaluate our students' work by using tablets. Quizzes on the tablets. Also the tablets make the learning more efficient with the help of visual and auditory support. They are motivating because students love technology. They can create content and play educational games and that motivates them. Using tablets we can reach our special needs students. They are eco-friendly.

# data[].attributes.body
I never taught using tablets, however I think it can be a powerful tool in student learning.

In an increasingly digital world, the teacher's role is to prepare students to constantly changing realities, and to develop skills that allow for learning throughout life. In this sense, the use of tablets in the classroom can be extremely advantageous because it allows flexibility in teaching, given the diversity of apps and tools that allows the class to take different paths, meeting the needs and interests of each student, thus promoting self-employment and critical thinking. Other vantages are that the tablets allow a more effective collaborative work (because the teacher can better control what each student does) and the development of creativity.

However, I think that teachers should be well prepared for this type of classes, in order to really benefit from the use of tablets, not to be only games (despite the potential that they may have) and check the internet.

# data[].attributes.body
The use of Technology is a part of our daily life. This reality should be integrated in the schools and combined with the traditional resources. We should educate our students in the use of tools like tablets because they open a huge amount of possibilities in the access to new contents on the web. On the Internet, they will face up to different contents and it is important they learn how to do it with maturity and responsibility. The use of tablets in the school improves the learning process and empowers the teaching task. In one hand, the motivation of the students raises so they pay more attention during the class and the time they spend studying is higher. The tablets are also slim and not very heavy so they are comfort for the students to take to the school. The use of tablets also reinforces creativity and curiosity because the students can look up information when they have questions so it also benefits  the autonomy. In addition, it simplifies the collaborative learning because the students can easily interact with each other and participate. On the other hand, it makes the teaching task easy because the teachers get the student´s assignments and value them quickly. It also makes easy the task of attention to diversity because it is easier to adapt the contents to the student´s needs.

I think the key words for me and my concept of using tablets in the classroom are creativity, innovation and the attempt to draw students attention and interest. My students are always interested in learning new things and especially if they have the chance to use new tools to achieve their goal they are very excited. Using a tablet in the classroom offers a great amount of opportunities like making a clip or a movie, creating their own flashcards, exercises and games, shooting their own fotos and managing the content they want to learn more about. My main concern is how to integrate tablets and work with them without letting them become the old boring school book.

Another very important fact about using tablets in the school is not only use them in one subject for example in foreign languages but to use them in every classroom und throughout the duration of the school year in order to become a part of the every day learning of the students. The local situation is unfortunately not so good because there is no funding and I think most of the colleagues are not ready yet to work on tablets and change their mindset.

If the students use tablets every day at home why shouldnt they use them in the school as well in order to organize their learning, create their own learning products and share them with the teachers and their classmates.

Our students live immersed in technology but they use it in a limited way and mainly for recreational purposes.

The school should be able to help young people to get awareness about the use of technology, a fundamental resource to get informations and learn in a deeper way. With the use of tablet, students learn how to work independently and how to produce various types of contents (video, audio, slides, texts, etc.); they also have to use resources in foreign languages, English in particular; finally, they acquire awareness about the risks connected with the different uses of the web.

This is the first year that I'm using tablets as part of pilot project.

I can confirm that students find learning more interesting and more engaging. It's a great tool both for individualised learning and also for collaborative work. Students are more creative as they are not only consuming information but also produce it and publish it through project-based learning. Students who had never experienced the use of tablets before, were not disadvantaged as all students were given the same opportunities. 1:1 teaching is vital and as a teacher it was easier for me to assess students and keep track of their progress. Thus I could cater for their individual needs

I´ve been using tablets in classroom for almost two years now. They are very handy, you can take them anywhere. Tablets are a great tool to gain knowledge, for searching informations, for being creative. You can make o thousonds of things with tablet, make a movie, use many apps... I like using a tablet and my students too. But it is very important that they are motivated for work. I´m proud that we have achieved that students and their parents had realized that tablets are not just for playing, but they are really imortant school tool.

The answer to this question is the combination of four words: Creativity, Motivation, Involvement, Innovation.But there are some more options to get benefits of them too. So, different learning opportunities in the act of teaching as well as group work and project
based learning are some of the additional options I mentioned before. Text books are being
replaced as a tool for learning. Nowadays, students use a rich variety of resources like websites, vídeo, podcasts and digital books. The tools they need must be
capable to manage a huge variety of digital resources and a tablet is able to do that in a simple way, easy to use, with a long battery duration and without being plugged.In a class with tablets students can move around, work in groups and take advantage of the amazing capacities of the device such taking photos, recording video or even making podcasts and sharing them through Internet. There are also other benefits that we can consider: I think that using tablets increases motivation and student autonomy. Many of my students It´s easy being creative with a tablet. For example, you can easily create a video demonstrating what you´ve learned without worrying about managing complicated video editing

In the present day, we have got netbooks in our school to use with the students, however, I would like using tablets due to their simplicity and portability. I think they are the best option for a wide range of tasks I carry out on a daily basis.
Tablets for their simpilicity, portability, the personalised learning and flexibility must be a resourse avalaible for our teaching.

Padlets and ICT in general allow students to be more creative and independent and to achieve a deeper learning of a given topic or skill. For example, using tablets they can carry out investigations, search for and produce new information and learning products, develop and personalize what they have learned in class. To do so, they must reflect on the processes that lay under every act of creation, they must reflect upon what they want to create, why and how. So instead of being passive subjects they become active creators of their knowledge and this ultimately is the key to achieve a better and deeper understanding. As a result of feeling more active and more protagonists of their learning, students become also more engaged and more motivated. As far as the teachers is concerned, they happen to change their role and instead of just producing and delivering content, they become facilitators, sources of info, providers of feedback and inputs. Teachers have better chances to personalize their learning using tablets and ICT, to meet different learning styles and reach more students, Also they have a tool that allow them to find the information quickly when they need it and to visualize it more efficiently. Also tablets allow teachers to innovate their teaching methods introducing new an more interactive ways to present contents, set tasks, assess students' work and organize the teaching setting. Using tablets as tools for carrying our group work, allows a class to be more inclusive as students who work in group offer help and support to weaker ones. Finally, tablets and acces to internet are a very powerful tool to develop linguistic competences through e-twinnings, social networking. Getting into contact with students from all over the world stimulate the students' curiosity for different cultures and get them practice foreign languages.

Every day in classroom we are preparing children for the jobs that today do not exist. Knowing of technology is key of their education. At the point when we teach them that technology needs to serve us, not the other way around they can continue learning alone, but in proper way.

Nowadays we live in a world were technology is all around us. Little children start using tablets, computers and smartphones at home very early. We, us teachers are not allowed to ignore this fact and we should not keep technology away from our class. Children are interesting in using computers and tablets. Lesson can be more attractive and more interesting. There are a lot of times, that using real-time examples in class for a lesson may help students understand the need of studying something, tablets may be a very useful tool in such cases.

It is fast, fun, interesting and very colmplex tool for teaching and learning, especially for foreign language. THere are huge amount of free educational apps which is good for pupils as well as fot teachers. You can search on worldwide web, write, make a table, adjust pictures and so on.And the best thing is about motivation becasue pupils will love work with tablets.On the other hand I wouldn´t say that tablets should be used in every lesson, for me it is very useful and helpful tool sometimes used in lessons.

Currently I am working with netbook that are becoming obsolete. We must begin to use tablets more adapted to our students. The tablets allow us to access new applications more quickly and easily and would enhance portability.

I think technology in education promotes learning and motivation of students by developing their skills and prepare for a future that we can not imagine but that will surely be mediated by technology.

MODULE 1 .  Q.1  Why do I want to use tablets in the classroom?

First of all we need to be conscious about the magnitudes of the new technologies in our society. The school should be a representation of society, so as a teachers we should prepare our students to become a citizens for the 21st century. That implies to teach them about new technologies.... How to use it and why.

Tablet is a good tool to work with our pupils. Because...

1. Helps the teacher in his work of teaching knowledge.

2. Is small, not heavy and slim. Easy for carry on even for the youngest students.

3. The students have the chance to interact with the contents that the teacher present.

4. They can organize the board in the way they want. Download applications, games...

5. They ALWAYS have access to the resources. So they don't have to wait to arrived home, have a computer or something. They can look through internet and check what they need in every moment.

6. We can find a lot of applications which can be useful for the learning process.

7. Also, it's a good tool for develop the creativity.

8. With the tablets, the process of learning-teaching can be more interactive and also more focused in the student. (Take into account all the needs they can have)

9. An important thing is that students, also can have contact with the real world, the society by using webpages like BBC, THE NEWS....

10. Good tool also for interact not only with the teacher and the mates of your class, but with another students of another school, country...

In my University, the majority of students use tablets to read, be in contact with another students even if they are in the same place at the same time, that takes away concentration for the class, I decided no fight against electronic devices anymore, I decide include them into class to get attention, involvement and innovative learning.

I wish that tablets help me into class as a media to learn and not a distraction, for my different courses at the university I want to create a new approach, my own methodology using tablets for teaching – learning from a practical, innovative and interesting approach for undergraduate students.

Technology has become part of almost every aspect of our lives and allowing children to experience the most up to date technology in a safe and educational environment can provide them with skills for advancing with new technology later on in their lives. Tablets can also be used as tools for learning in other discipline areas. There are many apps such as educational games which allow children to develop in areas such as mathematics. Children will have access to exploring their own interests on the internet and children engage with such devices because they enjoy them. Tablets provide inclusive, personal and visual learning which can be suited to each individual in the classroom.

The Tablet is a mobile device and extension of the learner. It can be available and ready in seconds and can be used to create, practice store and search very powerful in a classroom. They allow the learner to be more engaged in choosing how, what and why they learn.

Computers are even more powerful but may not be accessible in some settings and may not be practical in others.

Mobile devices can be misunderstood by schools and parents as who may seem them simply as phones/social media/toys. It is important to always approach learning with a balance of fun, wonder and rigor so that these powerful devices are used as tools not toys.

Society, kids, life, in general, are not the same as they used to be in the past, thus the way we teach shouldn´t be the same either. Kids are using different kinds of ICT including tablets in their lives, so they probably should be an integral part of their learning as well. Of course, that they are not suitable for everything and they shouldn´t be the one and only in the class but we (the teachers) have to learn how to use the best of them and how they can  help our children to learn.

- they offer a more personalised learning, the students can study at their own pace. :)

- they aremore motivating than the textbook and more fun for students. ;)

- they offer immediate visualisation of the content the students are studying and quick access to more explanation or definition.

- students are more independent, more engaged in their learning, more creative and they communicate more with one another.

- we live in the world where technology is becoming more and more important and in the future technology will be an integral part of every professional activity so we must prepare our students for their future jobs and studies.

- their learning is more focused on the production rather than reception.

- tablets are simple, mobile and provide an easy access to learning. They are a perfect tool for the creation of information.

I think that using tablets in the classroom will:

1) motivate my students,

2) keep them in contact with music out of the school,

3) let them understand that they can learn via tablets' applications

4) make them more creative, either working alone or in groups

5) help them understand how music is built

6) help them create their own music compositions

7) give them the opportunity to deliver their work easily and quickly.

Personally, as music teacher, I hope to find new ways of teaching music, which will be more interesting, creative, collaborative and flexible. Under these circumstances, all students can participate in music lesson following their own learning rhythm, according to their preferences and competences.

I think that the tablets are very important for our education. I want to use tablets in my teaching because the tablets are a great way to learn. Students are more motivating to learn from the tablets than from a computer. An another importance of the tablets is that they offer to pupils the opportunity to watch videos, documentaries or to find information about something. In the school we don't have tablets. But the children have tablets at home and they can bring them to use in the classroom .

In the modern day society, there is a huge reliensce on technology, therefore one of my justifications to encourage the use of tablets and other educational enhancing technologies, would be that children need to develop the skill sets using technology in order to stay in touch with day to day life. Secondly it will be important to get parents to see the benefit of the use of tablets by showing the parents what and how the tablets work and putting together a promotional video of the children engaging with various apps, programs etc. In doing this i believe that parents will definitely buy into the investment of and see the benefits of tablets.

I would like to use tablets at school to increase the possibility of collaboration beetween pupils. 2:1 or 1:1, i don't know, it depnds may be of the wifi network. I already used computers to do this, but it is very heavy to start with.

I thik that using tablets at schools is a "must" because in XXI century the way that we teach and learn are very different. Right now our students need to learn using all the tools that they have, and the teacher must be a guide, who help them to use this tablets in a creativity way. They are able to solve a lot of problems in their community, if we can share with them the tools, and help them to reach collaborative work.

I think that using tablets at schools is a necessity since our students are future citizens who should be equipped with the lastest and most advanced tools; Thus, ICT is indispensable. In Greece most students use tablets at home so it's high time they were used as both an educational and recreational platform. Students will learn at their own pace, practising different types of intelligences and skills;they will be exposed to updated news and info and they will collaborate with their classmates or peers from other countries. Also, tablets are a useful tool for students with special learning needs. What deserves attention and makes parents sceptical is overexposure and computer addiction.

In my class a few students use the tablets for play. Their parents do not know how to use them. So I think I could teach them to find useful information, to create materials and to collaborate in different projects.

I’ve never used tablets in a learning context before so I’m eager to learn with this course how and why we should use them in our classrooms. I know all the advantages mentioned to use them but as a digital immigrant I sometimes wonder if so much technology wouldn’t jeopardise our students’ social skills and health since they spend most of their time on their PCs, tablets and mobiles. Nevertheless, I believe this course will show me how to deal with parents’ major concerns and emphasise why using tablets in schools is an added-value.
