The present article deals with the idea of information and communication technologies, game technologies and is about basic possibilities of using GEOBOARD Internet service for studying Mathematics in elementary school. The scientific approaches to the concept of information and communication technologies, game technologies are described and the potential possibilities of using the GEOBOARD Internet service in elementary education as an option of educational technologies, the influence of the GEOBOARD Internet service on the development of primary school students, advantages and directions of application are analyzed. The important aspect of using GEOBOARD Internet service is the ability to use it both from a personal computer and a Google Chrome web page. Also, users can download the app from the App Store to work with Apple products. The peculiarities of using GEOBOARD Internet service on mathematics lessons are systematization of material, strict logic, the interdisciplinary nature of the service, the learning process systematization, mastering the basics of spatial imagination, mathematical knowledge usage in solving educational, cognitive and educational and practical problems and depiction of geometric shapes. The use of the GEOBOARD Internet service in mathematics lessons promotes the complex development of elementary school children; the formation of a holistic picture of the world, knowledge of the world; the development of constructive skills, spatial relations and spatial thinking, vision of geometric figures, numbers, arithmetic, etc. Working with the GEOBOARD Internet service application allows an elementary school student to learn a lot of important information, prepares students for further study of the geometry course at school and develops their skills of being a socially active, creative person who generates new ideas and makes non-standard decisions. And it all happens in the form of a cognitive game. The GEOBOARD Internet service that is made by The Math Learning Center (MLC) has a wide range of functional and didactic capabilities and will fully meet the needs of elementary school teachers to cover many topics in mathematics lessons. The visualization allows elementary school students to summarize, systematize and discard redundant information just playing a game, so this is the way to improve the educational process. The service is important because it actively involves elementary school students in the process of learning geometric material.

Technology is changing our lives and our way of learning. Contemporary teaching is subject to high standards – to train people who think and have universal learning and problem-solving skills. Mastering key competences is impossible without integrating information and communication technologies. The Viber app is the affordable way to connect education in maths to students’ interests and needs for information technology.

The aim of the study was to investigate secondary school students’ and teachers’ access to information technologies in Turkey by making interregional comparisons. Document analysis of the qualitative research methods was employed to analyze the reports issued by the Turkish Ministry of National Education, the Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK), and the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). The results of the research revealed the importance of access to information and communication technologies for both students and teachers: 67.9% of the participating students were found to have Internet connection and 69.1% a computer in their homes, while 80.3% of the students were observed to use a computer outside the school, but 19.7% were not. The results also showed that 64.6% of the students have Internet connection in their classrooms, but 29.2% of these students do not use the Internet in the classroom, whereas 8.9% use it in the classroom all the time. The rate of students using a digital device for reading is 38.1%, while that of those not using one is 61.9%. Some 32.1% of secondary school students were revealed not to have Internet connection at home. Additionally, 77% of teachers were not trained in online teaching prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the findings, teachers can be suggested to develop projects – i.e., of TUBITAK, E-twinning, and Erasmus – which potentially encourage students to use information and communication technologies so that both teachers and students can benefit from them. It is also suggested that the Ministry of National Education should work on improving the information communication technology competencies of teachers and students. Besides, policies should be developed to eliminate regional differences in terms of access to digital resources and technology in terms of equal opportunities and opportunities.

AbstractThe paper deals with a problematic of creating variant texts according to a sensory perception. An idea of transcribing text is based on a theory of adaptive learning, which is thoroughly studied at the Department of Information and Communication Technologies. Researchers in this work combined the adaptive approach together with thinking styles introduced by Libor Činka and created four variants of texts of the chosen topics. Then those texts undergone the verification by the students from high school and university, who read them and evaluated them as well as they answered to a prepared set of testing questions. All received data was compared against the replies from the learning style questionnaires VARK and questionnaire by Šimíčková. The paper discovered some differences between the results of VARK and Šimíčková questionnaire, which proved to be slightly more reliable compared to both the results of test questions and the students’ own opinion. There were also differences between sensory variants of texts. As expected, the kinesthetic variant proved to be the less effective compared to the rest. It seems that university students accepted the rewritten texts better than high school students too.

This study investigates the differences in adolescent engagement with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), such as computers, the Internet, and mobile phones. Involving 698 second-year high school students from urban, rural, and ethnic Tibetan regions of China, it finds that patterns of access and use indicate status and power, and the meanings teenagers pour into the technologies articulate social and educational differences. On average, Tibetans are disadvantaged in access, and the return on parental education is greater for the mainstream Han than it is for Tibetans. However, state ‘preferential policies’ have mitigated Tibetans’ plight in use, which makes the least privileged Han students with parents having no more than six years of education.

COVID-19 virus, still relatively unknown to the general public, has taken over the world. The period of the coronavirus epidemic has affected all segments of life, including the education system. The traditional way of teaching (face to face) has been replaced by online teaching and a virtual environment through the mediation of information and communication technologies. The aim of this research is to gain insight into parents ’perceptions of teacher-student communication during online teaching in the time of corona crisis. Fifteen parents of lower primary school students participated in the research. A semi-structured interview was used for data collection purposes. Participants’ statements indicate that during online teaching students most often communicated with their teachers via e-mail, WhatsApp, Zoom, Google Classroom, and Teams. As one of the biggest advantages of communication during online teaching, participants stated the improvement of their children's digital competencies and introduction to various communication tools, while they said that the biggest disadvantage were technical difficulties. In order to improve communication between teachers and students during online classes, participants suggested that teachers use videoconferencing more often in their teaching and organize various discussions in virtual classrooms and online forums.
