Feedback of participants:

Oksana Andriychuk: “Lecture by Oleg Rudyi, who demonstrated different approaches and opportunities to use multimedia manuals in history lessons, showed the features of how to attract children to learning historical material via new technical opportunities … With great pleasure I listened to the reports by other teachers and practitioners who shared with us their experience and learned some new techniques in working with multimedia”.

Taisiya Verzhanska: “It was extremely interesting. For me as a young specialist the experience of teachers presented during the seminar as well as its practical application will be a model for developing my own lesson”.
