Take a photograph of the blackboard with the tablet camera. Use it for review at the end of the current unit or revision at the beginning of the next unit.

If your students also have tablets, share the photograph of the blackboard with them. They’ll be able to look back at previous lesson materials whenever they want.

Take a photograph of students’ notes in class and project it onto a projector or large-screen TV.

Use the tablet like a portable overhead projector.

Instead of printing out and distributing lesson materials, share them with your students as PDF data.
Videos and images can also be distributed, so it’s easy to adapt materials to make them easier for your students to understand.
Distributed materials remain on students’ tablets, so they can look back at them whenever they want.

Instead of collecting and marking students’ homework books, get them to take and submit a photograph of their work.
Teachers can mark and return student work anytime and anywhere, so there is no need to worry about finding time to return homework books to students.
A record of everything remains, so it’s easy to assess students’ learning progress.

“Record video or audio of pronunciation”

Record videos or audio of your students speaking in English (or get them to record themselves).
English presentations used to take a long time with students presenting to the class one by one. Now they are finished in no time at all as each student records themselves on their tablet. Students have more opportunities to practise speaking in English, so their pronunciation improves.
