Now it is impossible imagine teaching without computers. We use computers not only for listening dialogs in our student books and work books, but show to our students how wide English language can be. And we use for it the greatest miracle of our XXI centure - Internet. Online resources are the greatest part of our teaching. As a teacher of young learners I can devide online recourses into two big groups, each of groups again ı can divide into 2 groups. So now ı will talk about 4 groups. 1. Recourses for children for teaching groups. As our kindergardens mostly have computers and projections, so it could make possible to use Internet recourses for teaching groups. What the most usufull sıtes for these kinds of students. In my raing there are 4 sites. - Süper simple songs with flash cards. https://supersimple.com Here's a collection of our favorite nursery rhymes, original kids songs. What can we do with them? Firstly, many of them can be adapted for movement. This aspect is very important if we work with young learners. Secondly, children love them, that is why they are very quicly learn many of them by hearts, so it is good for their vocabulary. Super simple songs are not just songs collection. İn their site we can find various activities and flash cards that we can use in our lessons. - Youtube. İt is inexhaustible source for EFL teacher. We can find here simple stories, nursery rhymes, short videos for our lessons. I can cite the following channels as an example: Dave and Ava https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6zhI71atP7YLoZyIyCIGNw – animated series developed espessialy for young children and Littlefox https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXRPWm72nrs5sK7fNTSXZrw - this site is valuable because it has very short stories (about 2 minutes each). - Wordwall https://wordwall.net Grate resourse for vocabulary games. Wordwall allows to create interactive resources online for use in class. 2. For children one-to-one Teachers can not use the same strategies for individual students, because in our private lessons we have sligtly different aims and we can try to archive more high goals that we can not reach with groups. First difference that we can teach children read in more early age. One of the best site for it is: -Reading eggs https://readingeggs.co.uk/Reading Eggs makes learning to read interesting and engaging for kids, with great online reading games and activities. After learn reading is completely done we need give children practice area. -Raz kids https://www.raz-kids.com/ is the best place for it. Raz-Kids delivers hundreds of interactive, leveled eBooks spanning 29 levels. İn language learning we can not avoid memorization words. To make it more fun for children we have cites like Quizlet. Quizlet https://quizlet.com is a free website providing learning tools for students, including flashcards, study and game modes. 3 And 4 For teachers. Recourses for teachers we can dived into two groups too. First one is recourses for prepare lessons. Like lesson plans or 100 ways for use flash cards. I will not dwell on them in detail, there are millions of them on the Internet. I would like to touch an another group of resources. Self-development and self-improvement of a teacher are parts of our work. For this, the following resources can help us: Coursera https://www.coursera.org and Futurlearn https://www.futurelearn.com/. They can offer for free courses like ‘Teaching English on-line or ‘Teaching English: How to Plan a Great Lesson’. If we need sertificate we can pay some money and confirm our knowlege. There are zillions of resources on the Internet and there is no way to even briefly cover them all. However, teachers are always on the lookout for new inspiration and new ideas, but technology is changing very rapidly, so maybe in a month this list of resources will look completely different.
