Within the project Implementation and use of e-contents and e-services, the students of 7. A at our school use tablet computers in five subjects. In science we introduced the e-textbook based contents and tasks and evaluated their advantages and disadvantages when used in class. Our work resulted in some appropriate solutions (knowledge assessment tools) designed in Moodle virtual classroom environment. The questions which have been set contain many design elements and vary according to the type and Bloom’s taxonomy. The approach we use is differentiated; the immediate feedback represents the added value. The virtual classroom contents can be used by other teachers, if interested. We monitored students’ achievements and assessed how they reached the set objectives and how they upgraded their ICT skills. At the same time we evaluated how the use of e-contents and e-services affected the level of understanding and knowledge with students. Our trial class (7. A) was compared with our 7. B class and with the same age group of students from the neighbouring school who didn’t use ICT when learning the same topic. The results show that students who use tablet computers have higher motivation for learning and that they have improved their ICT literacy. At the same time we were able to differentiate the tasks, use the individualised approach and encourage students to use higher order thinking skills. It should be mentioned that one can expect greater differences in students’ knowledge after a longer period of time.
