Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore high school students' views on the use of tablet computers in education. To achieve this aim, a qualitative research method was employed whereby data was obtained from 16 high school students using one-to-one semi-structured interviews and then, subjected to content analysis. The findings showed that all the participating students expressed a positive attitude towards tablet computers prior to their use in education. However, students stated that, after a short period spent on using the tablet computers, they found that tablet computers affected student ' teacher and student' student interaction. A significant number of the students stated that the educational content presented in the Educational Information Network (EBA) Portal was inadequate and inappropriate to their level. Also, in terms of the learning and teaching process, the students raised several concerns. To facilitate the effective use of tablet computers in education, students made several recommendations.Keywords: FATIH Project, tablet computers, technology integration in education, tablet computers in education.

Summary
Rapid developments in information and communication technologies (ICT) have moved societies forward into a new era, known as Industry 4.0 Technologies such as horizontal and vertical system integration, the industrial Internet of things, augmented reality, autonomous robots, cybersecurity and cloud technologies have all played an important role in this technological transformation. Such technologies have made it possible to gather and analyse data across machines using faster, more flexible and more efficient processes to produce higher-quality goods at reduced costs (Scalabre, 2018). Integrating contemporary technologies such as computers, projectors, interactive boards and tablet computers into education has become an indispensable tool in training individuals, so that they are qualified to meet the requirements of daily life and the labour market
