When we asked educators how they use their Galaxy Tab in the classroom, the answers were honest, insightful and incredibly practical. These aren’t features picked from a spec sheet. They’re tools being used by real teachers to handle real classroom challenges.
Whether it's planning a lesson, presenting content or responding to student questions on the spot, these tips show how Galaxy Tab fits naturally into the rhythm of teaching. Best of all, every tool mentioned here comes built in and is ready to use from day one.
Here are five tried-and-tested ways educators are making the most of their Galaxy Tab.
Use Samsung Notes to plan, annotate and collaborate
If you're using a Galaxy Tab in the classroom, Samsung Notes might quickly become your go-to teaching companion. Whether you're preparing tomorrow's lesson, sketching a concept diagram, or presenting live, it's all possible in one place.
So how does it help?
With Samsung Notes, you can type, write or draw in the same document. Need to show a heart diagram? Just drag and drop it into your note and annotate on the spot. Want to tidy up handwritten plans? The handwriting-to-text feature makes it easy to convert scribbles into clean text. Plus, Note Assist, powered by Galaxy AI*, can summarise, format or translate your notes.
You can also organise your notes in folders by subject or class, so everything stays tidy and within reach.
Pretty smart, right?
Want to co-create lesson content or share notes with students or fellow educators in real time? Try the collaboration feature in Samsung Notes and see how easy it is to work together.

Stay on track with Split Screen
When you're juggling multiple apps during class, Split Screen makes it easier to stay in control. You can view two windows side by side, so everything you need is on screen together.
For example, you can open Samsung Notes on one side and an e-book, browser or lesson PDF on the other. This lets you present content while referring to your notes at the same time.
It’s a simple tool that helps you stay focused and keep your lessons running smoothly.

Inspiration can strike at any moment. With Screen Write, you can grab a screenshot of whatever's on your screen and write on it instantly.
If you come across an interesting article or infographic while preparing your lesson, just capture it and highlight what matters. Use it as a prompt, a visual aid or a jumping-off point for class discussion.
It’s quick, intuitive, and helps you build a resource library of teaching moments without slowing down.
