Abstract:

The article investigates the problem of using online services to create educational content in mathematics. The study involved four stages. At the first - theoretical stage, the existing online services were studied, their possibilities for creating educational content in mathematics for primary school.

We have classified online services, a means by which you can create:
1) interactive tasks;
2) educational and interactive videos;
3) demonstrate educational material on a virtual board. In the second - ascertaining stage of the research, an online survey of primary school teachers in Ukraine was conducted. The purpose of the survey was to identify a set of online services that most attract teachers, as well as to clarify the need to assist teachers in working with online services in creating educational content in mathematics. According to the results of the survey, we found it expedient to teach teachers the basics of working with online services: Liveworksheets and Wizer.me, which allow you to create interactive problems in mathematics in the format of interactive worksheets; Renderforest, H5P, Learnis - to create educational and interactive videos; Padlet and Lino.it, which allow you to demonstrate training material on a virtual board. It should be noted that the survey was conducted in a professional group on FB.

According to the results of the online survey, most teachers are aware of the possibilities of using online services, and at the time of the survey, had minimal experience in using them, but they need technical assistance in working with individual templates and combining them when creating educational content. Teachers also need methodological assistance to organize certain stages of mathematics lessons in primary school and certain types of mathematical problems using online services. This prompted us to develop the content of the online course "Interactive tools for creating educational content in mathematics for younger students", which was carried out in the third stage of the study. The aim of the course is to acquaint primary school teachers with online services that help create educational content: services for creating "live" interactive sheets (Liveworksheets, Wizer.me), services for creating educational and interactive videos (Renderforest, H5P, Learnis) and a service for presentation of educational material on a virtual board (Lino.it).

The fourth stage of the study involved an online course. The course included 5 modules, and the final module was devoted to combining online services for organizing a distance math lesson. Primary school teachers were trained in real time in webinar format. During the webinars, teachers were acquainted with general information about a particular service, they were provided with algorithms for working with individual service templates and focused on the features of creating educational content in mathematics; the process and result of creating educational content based on tasks from current mathematics textbooks were also demonstrated. At the final stage, each webinar involved teachers-practitioners who presented their own experience of using a particular service, noting both the positive aspects and the possible difficulties that may arise when working with the service. 376 students took the online course. After the online training, videos of the webinars of the course were posted on the portal https://op.ua, so the training of teachers continues this time.
