In spite of their innovation potential and their technical contributions, some difficulties can be found to implement tabletbased scenarios in an effective way. On the one hand, the work deals with some issues about the didactical deployment of such devices together with their educational requirements. On the other hand, some recommendations are provided to support an effective use of these devices. In this sense, an experience about the application of this kind of technology within an educational institution throughout several courses is reported. From this experience, the gathered results are analyzed and a new perspective in the didactical use of tablets is depicted.
