Using The Yougile Digital Service to Manage an Educational Project

Abstract

Digital technologies permeate all spheres of life, including education. The active use of digital tools in educational projects can give this educational technology a powerful innovative potential.

One of the problems of implementing project activities at school is tracking the intermediate results of this activity: an individual student, pairs, microgroups, etc. If a linear teacher- student feedback is implemented in a classroom–based system, then in project activities it acquires the character of a network, branched horizontal connections arise, which significantly complicates the process of coordinating project participants and An effective tool for solving the problem can be the use of digital services for the organization and management of an educational project. The article describes the experience of using the YouGile digital service to organize the project activities of seventh grade students in computer science using the example of the project «The past that needs to be remembered». The use of the Russian platform ensures the inclusion of schoolchildren in the educational project online, strengthens horizontal links between the participants of microgroups, allows the teacher to quickly coordinate and adjust the activities of schoolchildren. The project was developed as part of the final qualification work and has been successfully implemented in teaching practice. The description of the project management experience at YouGile may be of interest both for practitioners who actively use project technologies in teaching, and for future teachers (bachelor’s and master’s degrees).
