INTERAKTYVIŲ PRIEMONIŲ PANAUDOJIMO GALIMYBĖS PASAULIO PAŽINIMO PAMOKOSE [THE POSSIBILITIES OF USING INTERACTIVE TOOLS IN SCIENCE LESSONS]

In the 21st century, the speed of technology, information and communication tools and economics obliges teachers to prepare the young generation to be able to adapt quickly to the rapidly changing living conditions.

Blue-bot robots are already a prevailing learning tool in both kindergartens and schools. It is programmed manually or with the help of the Blue-Bot program. Robots are often used in science lessons, children programme robots and name pictures, they also choose the correct answer and create sequences. All these tools interest and motivate students as well as help them to review their knowledge.
