It’s no secret to anyone that the effectiveness of the process of teaching and upbringing depends not only on its form, but also on the various methods and approaches. To achieve high quality and efficiency in education, the introduction of modern pedagogical and information technologies into the educational process is one of the most important tasks for teachers working in the field of education. This is probably why today there is a wide range of cooperation, interaction, exchange of knowledge and experience between organizations functioning in public and higher education sectors, as well as in other various fields related to education.
