Google services for studies

 So, today most of the world's population uses a huge amount of resources to study, analyze and expand their "database". Using such services helps people to use almost the full potential of the network. Unfortunately, a fair number of people are still stuck in the vacuum of their current configuration that their work can stand at times without any success. In such cases, you have to update to a more "recent" version to keep up with progress.

There are a huge number of Google services that help not only in work, but also in study. But it should be noted that nothing fundamentally new for the study was invented. Google uses all the same familiar programs like "Google Doc" or "Google Slides". Most of the programs do not make sense at all, since they have analogs already preinstalled on the PC (for example, Paint, which for some reason was transferred to the online format).
The only pleasant and useful innovation was the creation of the "Google Forms" service, which allows you to take polls, tests and quizzes, as well as create them. 

The integration of these resources into work and study, of course, makes the process a little easier, but the endless number of so-called "end links" makes the user jittery every time before starting work. Yes, there is no need to argue about the convenience of using a sufficient number of different applications, but in my opinion it would be much more convenient to "build" a super application that includes all services at once.

And now it is worth going directly to applications that can help in learning a foreign language. Everything is much simpler here. I have identified 3 such services: Google Forms, Google Translate and YouTube. The learning curve of these three resources leaves no doubt, but unfortunately, most of the time it is not used as intended.

Top-5 blogs

 Since it is not possible to objectively determine the places of the top, it will be written in no particular order, where, perhaps, some of my thoughts will be presented. T[ai]m 2 English.

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...
