The article highlights the possibility and feasibility of the use of cloud technologies by teacher in the educational process of higher educational institutions, modern schools or institutions of additional education. The advantages and disadvantages of using cloud technologies in the learning process are indicated. After all, cloud technologies are one of the perspective directions in the development of modern information technologies. Under cloud technologies are understood distributed data processing technologies, in which computer resources and power are provided to the user as an Internet service. The use of cloud technologies is not only associated with a huge reduction in costs and intensification, but also with significant consumer risks (especially the risks of storage and data transfer). On the other hand, cloud solutions are being improved all the time, and the cloud provider can now reach an acceptable level of security by adhering to a number of conditions. The use of cloud technologies in the educational process will, above all, make it possible to solve the problem of ensuring equal access of students and teachers to high-quality educational resources both at classes and in extra hours. Cloud computing has wide-ranging prospects for applications in education, research and applied research, as well as for distance learning for professionals, postgraduates and students. Cloud technologies are not only the future, it is in many respects also the present. The use of cloud technologies (cloud computing) by higher educational institutions is a promising direction, which allows to increase the efficiency of the educational process, reduce the cost of its implementation. Significantly reduced capital costs associated with the creation and maintenance of educational institutions of their own data centers, provides flexible scalability and high availability of services used in the learning process, which ultimately increases the level of satisfaction of users needs: students, faculty, teaching staff, as more time is spent on solving educational and research tasks.

The article addresses theoretical substantiation and empirical research of personal readiness of teachers and instructors in higher educational institutions to implementing dialogue as a form of educational process. The essence of educational dialogue is viewed as an integrated procedural form of active learning, which is aimed at transformation of internal experiences of future specialist and acquiring new ones. The author states that a complete educational dialogue depends on three components: 1) the dialogism of a teacher; 2) the dialogic nature of educational material (as a fragment of given educational content); 3) student dialogue. The leading role of the instructor is being analyzed not only in the dialogic organization of educational process, but also in development of dialogical culture of students. Two aspects of the teacher's readiness are singled out: 1) how a teacher goes through self-realization and personality development (personal readiness); 2) how a teacher contributes to personal growth of students (professional readiness). The article analyzes facilitative abilities of a teacher, based on which the teacher develops personal readiness for implementing dialog as a form of educational process. It has been empirically proven, based on the questionnaires administered to both teachers and students, that teachers often focus on formal indicators, on the monotony and authoritarianism of teaching. Relations between teachers and students are often manipulative, and there is an alienation and indifference of the teaching staff towards students in pedagogical communication. At the same time, dogmatism, formalism, and closeness, and stereotypical role behavior of teachers and students constitute the greatest obstacle in transforming educational process into a dialogue.

The article reveals the essence of the concept "mobbing" and its classification in the context of pedagogical management. An empirical study has been conducted to identify the presence, frequency, causes, features of manifestations and consequences of mobbing processes in the teaching staff of general secondary education in Ukraine. Methods of randomized experiment, correlation analysis, scaling and ranking were used to process the research results. The results of the correlation analysis revealed causal relationships between some causes, manifestations, consequences of mobbing and certain statistical characteristics. The results of the empirical study prove the presence and prevalence of cases of mobbing in the teaching staff of secondary schools in Ukraine. The results of the study allow us to conclude that in general secondary education institutions, depending on the status of the persons involved, all three types of mobbing are implemented. Vertical prevails - 41.5%. Horizontal - 27.7% of respondents, mixed - 11.8%. 19% of respondents did not face mobbing. Depending on the specifics of harassment, there are different variations of mobbing processes, which sometimes overlap in their manifestations. Bosing prevails - 41.5%. 27.7% indicated bullying, social isolation - 15.8%, staffing - 14.7%, sandwich mobbing - 11.8%, gaslighting - 8.4%, outing - 7.7%, ageism - 6.8%, stalking - 5.9%, cyber mobbing - 4.7%. Also, based on the results of the survey, we can conclude that in educational institutions there are manifestations of obstruction - 3.1% of respondents. The general bases of anti-mobbing technology have been developed - a system of measures of the head and pedagogical workers to prevent, detect and combat harassment, moral pressure, psychological terror in an educational institution.

We will remember 2020 with the coronavirus pandemic. This terrible disease has caused a long-term quarantine and therefore the whole planet, including Ukraine, has switched to distance learning. In the age of the Internet, there are many different services for distance learning, so all schools, universities, and other educational institutions have begun to use a variety of services. But after long use, it became clear that all services have their drawbacks and do not cover all the needs of teachers or students. The distance form of education opens access to education for a wide range of people who for some reason cannot study traditionally. However, in distance learning, there is a problem of lack of communication with teachers and classmates, which is the most important information channel in the learning process. Not all distance learning services are the same. An important issue for both teachers and students is the choice of a distance learning service. The article provides a brief overview of the functional features of the most popular educational tools that use the power of social media to help students in the learning process, and teachers to interact with each other, and students who are able to minimize the lack of direct communication with their social group. The article proposes an approach to the assessment of the integrated indicator, which would take into account the needs of both parties to the educational process. According to the proposed method, a comparison of the most used services that support distance learning.

The article discusses the methodology of forming the teacher's readiness to use the electronic educational environment by immersion technology. The relevance of the study is determined by the challenges of our time. During the pandemic, all educational institutions of the Russian Federation had to switch to distance learning for students. Which presupposes possession of digital technologies by all participants in the educational process. To bridge the «digital divide» in the student-teacher relationship, a methodology has been developed to improve the qualifications of the teaching staff, which allows them to organize their professional activities using digital technologies. The leading method of researching this problem was a pedagogical experiment conducted among teachers and students, which made it possible to identify a positive trend in the willingness of teachers to use the capabilities of the University's electronic information and educational environment based on the results of the proposed methodology. The article clarifies the structure of a teacher's readiness to use the electronic information and educational environment of an educational organization, substantiates the effectiveness of the methodology for the formation of readiness using immersion technology.
