Abstract

The educational environment at the present stage is characterized by implementation and integration of intensively developing digital technologies. Popularization of educational websites and platforms for children on various electronic devices is under way. The purpose of the study is to reveal the peculiarities of using educational websites in Russia in the process of teaching children of 6–8 years. The study was conducted during 2017 in conjunction with preschool and elementary educational institutions in Kazan. Questionnaires for teachers and parents were created to determine specifics of using educational websites and platforms. They consist of demographic, technological, innovative, motivational units, parental attitude to technologies, and depend on the sample of subjects. To identify the problem areas in the organization of teaching with digital resources the focus group method was applied. This article can be interesting for teachers, parents, administrations of educational institutions.
