Bookmarks

 And today we are going to look at some services, which can provide you a comfortable surfing in the Internet. And yes, as you could mention, this post will be about bookmarks. But what are they? This question is not very hard, but not even easy, because the number of such services and the range of their possibilities are constantly increasing.

There is a list of most popular bookmarking services around the Net. It consists of such resources as BPoster, GPoster, Sendez, Webstartpage, Qmos, Diigo, etc. And of course there are some pluses and minuses of each. I personally prefer stock start page, because my browser (as other) have the ability to save the most visited pages. 

Let's talk about some of bookmarking services.

Diigo.

 

Quite easy to use, Diigo is one of the main competitors to all similar services. Easy linking to accounts, control of the launch panel and excellent performance allow you to use the full potential of this resource to the maximum. 

GPoster.


 It is a multiservice since it manages a number of subservices. This improves performance, but at the same time can be confusing for the user. The advantage of these visual bookmarks is in a fairly loyal interface and mobile version, unlike previous services, there is no possibility of expanding the bookmarks and the search bar. Among the features of the service, one can single out the multilingualism of the interface and the download speed.

Webstartpage.

 The functionality of this service is supplemented by a weather informer, otherwise these are the same basic capabilities as in all services of this topic, an unlimited number of visual bookmarks and synchronization with them.
The first thing that catches your eye is a pop-up hint, quite informative to master all the subtleties of working with the site, in addition to this, authorization through popular services can be highlighted, which allows you to bypass the registration stage thereby saving time.

My MOOC experience

 The task was set quite simply: look through the list of MOOC, select a resource, select a course on it, and describe it after passing. 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. There is also the possibility of changing the language. There are...

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...
