  Hi!       It often happens that we have found interesting information on the web that we would like to return to later. Doing it the same way (via a query) is not very convenient, and the search results may change. Of course, you can take a screenshot of the page or copy the information to some other source. I am sure that you will quickly lose information among the large amount of material that is in your phone.       In each browser, you are given the opportunity to use the built-in tabs feature. It's certainly convenient, but there are always nuances. For those who like order and control, who spend a lot of time on the Internet, cloud services of visual bookmarks have long been invented.      Today I will tell you about some of them. 1. Top-page     The Top Page is essentially a bookmark page that you can set in your browser as a starter page. You can create as many bookmarks as you need. Also from the pros, no matter what changes you make with bookmarks on one device, by logg

  Hello everyone! Today I will tell you about the stages of the Internet. Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 are different stages of the Internet. These are buzzwords, so there are not enough clear definitions. However, Web 1.0 can be associated with the era of static sites. Web 2.0 can be associated with the era of interactive websites. Web 3.0 focuses on web services and semantic markup.    WEB 1.0 In the beginning there was what we now call Web 1.0, and then just Web. Then the first websites, portals and online services were developed, and users could only read information, without the possibility of direct interaction. It was a one-way communication network.  WEB 2.0   Then comes Web 2.0. With the emergence and spread of social networks and all applications, such as blogs, forums and podcasts, which have made possible new forms of active communication. Thanks to the development of these new tools, users began to communicate with each other and share content over the Internet, helping to

The best presentations tools

  Hi! Today I will tell you about the services with which you can create presentations for free. I recommend the following services that I particularly liked. 1 . Prezi is a popular free online presentation tool.This service, as its name implies, is focused on one function — the direct creation of presentations. Here this function is implemented in an unusual way, which allows you to use even more imagination and creative solutions in your work. There is no standard linear slide construction here, instead one page opens in front of you, on which you create a kind of “thought map". During the show, you do not flip through the slides one by one, but shows the overall picture, if necessary, bringing the necessary blocks on it. You can insert anything into the presentation: texts, videos, animations, GIFs, audio recordings, etc.

SURVEY SERVICES

  Hi!       Tests have long been an integral part of the working life of any teacher. Previously, I had to print them on paper, collect leaves or notebooks from each student, manually check and analyze the results, guess with the answers because of the handwriting…      Now we have at our disposal online services for every taste, which seriously save time and resources. We get new opportunities: remote collection of responses, automatic evaluation of results.      So, today we will talk about services for creating and organizing tests. 1. Google Forms  In the last post I already mentioned this resource. Let's take a closer look    - is an online service for creating feedback forms, online tests and surveys. Survey forms can be created using ready-made templates or from scratch. The forms have a large number of settings that the user can choose. These can be both forms with multiple answers, and with open answers, where it is necessary to express a position on the issue. Questions

 Hello everyone!  Let’s talk about MALL  Mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) is language learning that is assisted or enhanced through the use of a handheld mobile device . MALL is a subset of both Mobile Learning (m-learning) and computer-assisted language learning (CALL). MALL is beneficial for language learners for many reasons. First of all, the average language learner has a mobile phone. (Over 90% of people in developed countries have a mobile phone, compared to only 40% who have desktop computers). In addition, most people take their phone wherever they go. This enables them to study anytime, anywhere.

They promote  interactivity,  collaboration and engagement in various le

QR codes are frequently used to track information about products in a supply chain and often used in marketing and advertising campaigns. The use of ICT in education is must in digital era. It is quality learning effort. QR Code is technology-based media developed as very fast scanning tool. However, its existence is still rarely used in education.
