Looking through some web-pages.

As you all know, I'm a big fan of any creative stuff for stdying anything. I had to choose some of the resources and tell some words about 'em.

ELSTOWER.


This resource is great for little kids and for some infantile adults. It's full of bright pictures, dynamics and freedom of action. You and your kid will enjoy it from the first sight, and little colorful monsters will help you to have a great fun during studying somethung new.

Rosetta Stone.


RS is a kind of resource for people, who want to study languages deeper. It provides us a huge number of cources and languages. There is also a 7-day free trial for those people, who don't know if they really need it. Mostly the answer is "yes". 
I liked the website because of its simplicity and variability.

My attention and interest were riveted on the resource COURSERA.  It attracted me with its simplicity, convenience and intuitive interface. Since I was offered to choose a direction and specialization, in the end, the resource offered several options for very tempting courses.I decided to try my hand at a course called First Step Korean, which focuses on the base of the Korean language.    The course is a set of so-called weeks, which include 6 tasks, ranging from watching videos and independent study of literature and ending with a module consisting of 4 tests on different topics.  One of the most convenient functions during a task (watching video materials) is a script that automatically highlights the sentence that is being spoken at the moment by the speaker.

QR's and Quiz

Traditional learning materials yield attractive, motivating and technologically enhanced learning materials. The QR (Quick Response) Codes are one of these innovations. The aim of this study is to redesign a lesson unit supported with QR Codes and to get the learner views about the redesigned material. Descriptive data analysis was used in the study. The findings were interpreted on the basis of Theory of Diffusion of Innovations and Theory of Uses and Gratifications. After the research, the themes found were awareness of QR Code, types of QR Codes and applications, contributions to learning, and proliferation of QR Codes. Generally, the learners participating in the study reported that they were aware of QR Codes; that they could use the QR Codes; and that using QR Codes in education was useful.  Ways of using QR codes in studies: 1) Put QR codes on classroom library books, linking out to information about the author and or book. 2) Create scavenger hunts and/or webques...
