The tablet is a novelty that can be used in teaching. By using it the teaching process as well as the role of the teacher is changed. The teacher is not only the person giving information and the absolute source of knowledge; he/she is also the leader of activities and the one who offers technical support to students. Primary school Bršljin is a part of the pilot project called Induction and application of e-contents and e-services in the projects e-Schoolbag and E-textbooks with emphasis on natural science contents in primary school. This participation involved the introduction of the tablets in the teaching practice. We enabled our students to discover and explore different ways of gathering knowledge, without leaving the classroom by using applications and accessories that are possible because of the tablets. Examples of good practice point out that the tablets can be used with all school subjects and at all learning stages, regardless whether it is assimilation, follow up or testing the knowledge. Evaluation and analysis of school work is also easier, as the tablet enables a series of activities that prepare the students to think about their work.
