You can use it to solve math problems, read fiction books, explore geography using the Google Earth application and study history using animations and video games. Every lesson becomes a combination of entertainment and learning, and you end up achieving much better results because you actually enjoy learning.

This is exactly what classes at our school are like!

In order to further facilitate learning and make it quicker and more interesting, students at our school use electronic notebooks on tablets – and are able to study wherever they are – the only condition necessary for this advantageous form of studying is connection to the Internet. Using your tablet, you can study anywhere, at any time. Thanks to these innovations, lessons at our school are even more advanced, interesting and of higher quality.

The essence of successful and high-quality education lies within the student’s sense of satisfaction with the things they learned. It is also reflected in the quality of knowledge and the bond that students build with their teachers and with each other. E-notebooks enable all of these things. The use of electronic notebooks hasn’t had a negative effect on the lesson flow or the discipline. Quite the opposite. It has encouraged students to actively participate in lessons and has made lessons more interesting for them. The use of e-notebooks has actually made lessons more effective. Student marks have also improved.
