The Use Of Interactive Training In Extracurricular Activity In Information Technology
Absract. In the light of the fact that education is an area of the greatest public importance and the school as an institution is called to develop the knowledge, skills and abilities of all students, the author considers the need to be paid more attention to additional training of gifted and talented students and to their participation in various competitions and Olympiads in information technology. The text examines the growing motivation and desire of students from the Vocational School of Economics - Pernik to participate in extracurricular activities and in development of projects for participation in national Olympiads and IT competitions. These successes are not only the result of traditional teaching methods and techniques, but also of some typical interactive techniques. One of these techniques is the role of the teacher as a facilitator, mentor, supporter, counselor and teammate. Shown are other techniques that increase student motivation and success.

Development Of Interactive Applications For Teaching In Philosophy For 8Th Grade Students
Absract. It is a fact, undoubtedly, that the students of today are the bearers of a new culture – the virtual one. The virtual culture is easily accessible and it has a whole new world to offer. This is a global world with no boundaries, but at the same time, the culture of reading more and more becomes a remnant of the past. The main reason for this claim is that now one can find almost everything online, philosophy included. This is what causes the main issue philosophy, as a school subject, faces- it has to prove that adolescents need it.
Beyond any doubt, philosophy is helps in the search for a meaning in life and can be helpful in the students’ world, but not as a list of eternal questions and a system of eternal truth but rather as an irreplaceable culture of questions and answers, of dialogue and discussion. The competences that Philosophy creates in students are related to their skills to participate in discussions and debate, to development of the way of thinking and also to the skills and techniques to analyze and write, comment on case studies and role-play, presentations and projects. Philosophy, however, most certainly has to cooperate with modern technologies. Should it stay beyond the present-day circumstances and back in time, philosophy would be inadequate and impossible to understand.
The main goal of this expose is to prove that students can make the inter-subject relation between philosophy and information technology themselves and also to propose an unorthodox way of teaching philosophy. The introduction and use of innovative teaching methods can significantly improve and facilitate the acquisition of key competences, namely – digital competences, learning skills, pro-activeness, cultural awareness and skills for expressing through creativity. This could also give students the opportunity to develop different applications and this way – to continuously enrich their knowledge. This is the global goal of “The World of Emotions” website, presented as a successful educational project.
he development of such interactive applications and their introduction as a method in the process of education would be a tool for significant increase of students’ interest in philosophy as a science.
