Hello everyone. Today I would like to talk about the the services I would like to use at my study. First of all I have to say that I like to use printed lectures instead of spending time on writing them at classes. I think it is obvious that it is easier to print and read the information at home and then discuss at class with a teacher. You can highlight everything important and have much more time for studying the material. I think that write dictated lectures is really outdated.  And if you want to remember it better you can write something important on your own.   As for the services I like work at some university's platforms. For example  edufsc.bsu.by  It's better to read the task, study some information, write the answer there and get your mark. You don't have to take a book at the library as you can just print the necessary paper. I also think that we could do some of our home tasks there (tests for example, when a computer can check and give us a mark) instead o
Hello :) Today I looking at the blogs of my groupmates and choose some I like the most. The first thing I pay attention is the interface. And on many blogs it’s not very attractive. :( I like Sasha's English blog because it has both attractive interface and useful, understandable and structured information.  I think that interface is not very attractive, but posts are interesting and easy to understand. Actually, I liked writing posts. Because I learned a lot, improve my English and shared with you useful and interesting information.  My conclusion is fully consistent with the name of my blog. I am happy and improve myself. XOXO!)))

Hello everybody! Today, mobile devices have penetrated so much into our lives that we no longer imagine our existence without phones. Previously, it was only a means of communication, but now the phone is a multi-functional gadget and communication is just one function from the huge diversity of others. Like many innovative technologies, mobile applications also become one of the tools in teaching foreign languages. Today I want to tell you about the  MALL  ( Mobile-Assisted Language Learning ) and some of its special features. The main principles of MALL: 1. Accessibility in any place; at any time and for any user. 2.Access to teachers, librarians, and other learners.  3.Ability to interact with other learners, including playing games, conversation, and project-based learning, capabilities to take pictures, capture sound, and input text.

Hi everybody! In this post I'm going to tell you about some services to create your bookmarks and about their evolution since 2008. Many years ago ... More precisely, about 10 years ago, active Internet users preferred to use browser bookmarks (they were not nearly as user-friendly as they are now, and users had to install additional software to use bookmarks in the browser) until various online services for link storage appeared. (Such as delicious, evernote, memori.ru, diigo and a lot of others)  The convenience of such online services was obvious. Users had access to links from any computer at any time they needed. Also in some online services, you can create different lists, upload images, make notes, integrate with other services and many other useful things. But I'm going to tell you about such service as the top-page. Here are my bookmarks in this service. Bookmarking services are becoming more and more popular among internet users and companies that

Hi everyone! To day you we can talk about , How  social networks can help you to learning English. Nowadays we are asked about everything, different questionnaire, polls and so on. So the Internt suggest us a lot of sources that will make our life easier. Lets start from the worst to the greatest ones. . MyTestXPro   Pluses With the MyTestXPro program, it is possible to organize and conduct testing, exams in any educational institutions (universities, colleges, schools) both with the aim of revealing the level of knowledge in any educational subjects, as well as for educational purposes. Minuses This program is too easy to use and most students and teachers do not use it, because now they are releasing newer, more convenient and easy-to-use programs.  The program, in my opinion, is outdated, testing in it is too slow and the material is not absorbed. The second network is TWITTER. Pluses I think using Twitter as a survey or questionnaire is appropriate.  Aft
