Abstract

Digital technologies prove fundamental for information and educational environment to emerge within the framework of schools, universities and new educational patterns (distance as well as mixed forms). Due to a number of factors, language teachers remain uninformed of relevant electronic resources that would potentially contribute to further enhancing of their professional skills.

There is a variety of resources that enable teachers to implement their IT-competencies and skills in the cyberspace; to select useful data; to share experience with colleagues as well as to create new electronic products. The resources vary from communities in social networks to distance education systems and personal websites.

The ways to support the educational process with the help of internet resources is via such educational platforms as Personal Learning Network (PLN), Learning Management System (LMS), MyCourseRoom, Edutopia, CourseLab, Zenler, LessonWriter, and MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) that are accounted for in the research to follow.
