  I am sure everyone has ever used Wikipedia, but I am also sure many of us have never tried some other opportunities of Wiki. And I couldn`t imagine that there are numerous of them! If we consult the Internet, Wiki is a web technology used for collaborative publishing on the web. Wiki is a type of server software that allows you to work with data on a remote server on the Web. Users interact with the software through a web interface that lets them read, edit and publish content. Moreover, there are 4 genres of wiki (encyclopedias, corporate wikis, fan wikis and educational wikis). All of them have their pecularities. And as you may guess Wikipedia presents only one of the genres, that is of encyclopedias.

Due to my educational purposes I`ve decided to examine educational wikis and their opportunities. And it turned out that Wiki is a perfect tool for collaborative work on language learning. To be more concrete, I visited Teflpedia (http://teflpedia.com/Main_Page), and I was delighted very much as this resource provides a perfect opportunity to share your opinion and your best practices on language teaching. Young teachers receive priceless experience from the mature ones, while experienced masters can share their creativity and just express themselves.

Hello, dear students! I think, it is high time to discuss google services for educational purposes. I am sure, everybody has already worked with some of them, but I hope you will find something new from this post. Let`s start with Google Docs and Google Sheets. They are an ideal tool for group work on text and mistakes correction.  These services allow users to follow any changes added to the collective document, make notes and use chat.  Next is Google Slides . Two posts ago I examined this service in my review on resources for presention creation. So I won`t discuss it in detail here. The only thing I say is that this service is really worth using! And if you`d like to see this tool in practice, come to my previous posts where I added a link to my own presentation created in Google Slides. Now let`s head for the Google Forms . With the help of this service teachers can easily create various questionnaires.It is a perfect tool to use for homework and

Hello, guys! Today we continue to observe numerous opportunities of the Internet and technologies for education and language learning in particular. It seems that the Intenet will never stop surprising me! In this post I`d like to get you acquainted with MOOC which is  a   massive open online course. First of all, let`s refer to the dictionary to find out the definition of this new term.  A  massive open online course  is an  online course  aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the  web .  MOOCs are a recent and widely researched development in  distance education  which were first introduced in 2006 and emerged as a popular mode of learning in 2012. Such a course has the following characteristics: it is open, participatory, distributed and provides life-long network learning. As it called a course it provides a systematic learning process (it has the beginning and the end) but not a rambling studing. In addtion to this, I have learned about f ive free MO

Bookmarks

Hello everybody! Every day we deal with a lot of information in the Web, but many people just use a certain amount of resources much more often than others. So in order not to log in such websites every time there was created a special service called bookmarks .  But I am sure everyone has already worked with it. As in previous posts I have examined several resorces that allow users to create quick and useful bookmarks. All of them turned out to be rather simple, convenient, and, what is important, free. So I will just show you my personal bookmarks created in one of such a resource ( https://webstartpage.ru/ ). This resource attracted me by its logical structure and convenience. However, its design is rather plain, but, honestly speaking, it doesn`t matter, so if you`d like something more colourful choose some other resource. Good luck!
