Modern school strives for cooperation and participation of every individual pupil, encourages initiativity, creativity, activity, evaluation and reflexion. Formative assessment of knowledge, flexible lessons, rich store of information and constant qualitative feedback are the components of the open/modern school. In this article I present the beginnings of an open learning space initiation in the 3rd grade. Mobile technology enabled the pupils for learning wherever, whenever, by whomever and by using different mobile devices. Pupils accepted diversity, because learning opportunity was given also to them. They were able to use a flexible, open and good ICT equipped classroom. The lessons were focused on individual’s development. Pupils were actively involved in the learning planning (what and how to learn, which tools and sources to use). Free researching was enabled to them; they developed reading literacy, observed the nature and accepted different feedbacks. They obtained the knowledge from life for the life. Pupils were able to motivate themselves for learning activities and they had the main role in learning process. They could find information and use mobile technology. I followed their learning as their teacher and adjusted it to the teaching claims. In this way pupils developed their creativity, independence and motivation for their work.
