It's very hard to teach in a traditional mode in the 21 century.

Other collegues do not know how to use the computer or tablets. 

So, for starters it's need to form these teachers. Teachers’ continuous training and support is essential. Teachers will become familiar with new teaching styles.

Other problem, it's money. Budgets are always a concern in education. In Romania, especially, it's very hard to survive like teacher.

To use tablets in every classroom in every school from Romania it will be very expansive. Our budget it's very modest.

Parents should be involved in this new educational process. Now, they are not involved in their children's education.

For me it's a dream to use tablets or other devices in my classroom, but isn't imposible

Therefore one of the major issues was the mobile device management (MDM) of tablets within the classroom. Usually MDM is being carried out and managed by IT staff, but in the case of school, they wanted to give access to the teachers to manage students’ tablets in their classroom. Another issue was the class control, as students with the tablets could be playing games, use social networking sites or just waste their precious classroom time. In order to address these issues, the school had to go for a classroom management system through which teachers can control students’ tablets and can make sure that they are not playing or wasting the time during the class time.

I agree wit

- write a story of their own;

- illustrate the story using comics or a video;

- dramatise the story;

rewrite the story but set it in another country and consider what should be changed;

-create an audio version of the story.

Tablets are good to making video. I want to create a blog with important activities, like theater, for exemple. I've done something similar in the past without tablets.
