6. The screen displaying method according to claim 1, wherein the controlling comprises displaying a part of the common screen at one side of the personal screen in response to a direction of the touch on the personal screen.

7. The screen displaying method according to claim 3, wherein the controlling comprises changing the personal screen into a management screen displaying at least one reduced student personal screen in response to a direction of the touch on the personal screen.

8. The screen displaying method according to claim 3, wherein the controlling comprises

changing the personal screen into the common screen according to a direction of the touch on the personal screen, and

changing the common screen into a management screen in response to a direction of the touch on the common screen,

the management screen comprising at least one reduced student personal screen.

9. The screen displaying method according to claim 8, wherein the at least one reduced student personal screen displayed on the management screen is enlarged in response to a tap detected on a corresponding reduced student personal screen.

10. The screen displaying method according to claim 8, wherein the at least one reduced student personal screen of the management screen displays a message receiving icon informing that a message is received from a student portable apparatus corresponding to the at least one student personal screen.

11. The screen displaying method according to claim 3, wherein the student personal screen is displayed in response to the user identification information, and a message written on the student personal screen is transmittable to another portable apparatus.

12. The screen displaying method according to claim 7, wherein the management screen is changed into the personal screen in response to a touch on the management screen.

13. The screen displaying method according to claim 1, wherein the controlling comprises

changing the personal screen into the common screen when the touch on the personal screen is a drag and drop;

and

displaying contents selected by the drag and drop on the common screen.

14. The screen displaying method according to claim 13, wherein the contents comprises a text file, an image file, an audio file, a video file, or a reduced student personal screen.

15. The screen displaying method according to claim 1, further comprising providing at least one of a visual feedback, an aural feedback and a tactile feedback in response to the touch on the personal screen.

29. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having embodied thereon at least one program comprising a command for performing the screen displaying method of claim 1.

16. A portable apparatus comprising:

a communication unit configured to communicate with a second portable apparatus and an external device;

a touch screen; and

a controller configured to control the communication unit and the touch screen,

the controller displaying a screen of an application executed by the portable apparatus including a personal screen corresponding to user identification information of the portable apparatus and changing the personal screen into a different screen including a portion of a common screen of the external device received through the communication unit in response to a touch on the personal screen.

17. The portable apparatus according to claim 16, wherein the application is an education application and the personal screen comprises at least one of a teacher personal screen and a student personal screen, and

the common screen comprises a screen of an interactive white board connected with the portable apparatus through a wired or wireless network, and

the controller controls the personal screen and the common screen to be displayed in response to the touch on the personal screen.

18. The portable apparatus according to claim 16, wherein the controller transmits and/or receives a message to and/or from the second portable apparatus through the communication unit.

19. The portable apparatus according to claim 16, wherein the touch is detected through at least one of a touch using an input unit, a touch using a body of a user, hovering of the input unit over the touch screen, and hovering of the user body over the touch screen.
