Since the direction the teaching process has been taking lately is toward use of touchscreen technology and tablet computers - because the advantages of such approach to the teaching process are rather considerable, both regarding organization and in the sense of methodology and education, these devices will be used to the highest possible degree at ITHS.

ITHS is the first school in the region that has developed this form of teaching. Use of tablet computers in education involves a great number of benefits, and it is a great pleasure to be able to provide them to our students.

The most important thing is that this kind of organization of teaching places the student at the center of the education process; it makes the student active, and renders the acquired knowledge applicable. Students will use tablets as workbooks (mandatory tool for school and school-related activities): for work in classes, for homework, for simulation of certain activities - laboratory exercises, etc. Also, tablet computer will be used as online notebook the teachers will have access to and where they will be able to leave comments and grades for students.
