Tablet PCs Change Korea's Educational Environment
Tablet PCs are taking the world's IT market by storm.
Korea is no exception to the trend, with tablet PC users roaming its streets everywhere.
Now, tablet PCs are transforming not just the way we live but also the way we learn.
We're now at an elementary school in Incheon, where students are taking lessons at a whole new level.
On their desks are tablet PCs and electronic pens instead of the usual paper and pencils.
This is a classroom of the digital age.
This school is currently conducting digital textbook lessons for 4th and 5th graders.
[Interview : Han Gyeong-su, Vice Principal
Incheon Samsan Elementary School] "The digital textbook is a technology combining reference books, exercise books and other resources into one device. It could totally change our educational paradigm."
These lessons are conducted using digital textbooks, which are tablet PCs with a touch screen and keyboard.
