THE POSSIBILITIES OF USING JAVASCRIPT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MODERN EDUCATIONAL TOOLS’ INDUSTRY

Abstract

The article is devoted to the description of the results of the work of the project group, whose main task was the development of a web application that will help children with special needs learn English. JavaScript was chosen as the programming language. The main stages of the work of teachers of the Department of Mathematical Analysis and Informatics of the Poltava National Pedagogical University named after V. G. Korolenko, who since 2020 have been participants in the project “WIN: writing for inclusion” of the European Union Erasmus+ program under the direction KA201 Strategic partnerships in the field of school education (2020-1-ES01-KA201-081827). The project applicant is the Balmes University Foundation, Spain (Fundació Universitària Balmes). The web application presented in the article is built on the principle of a constructor for creating an animated product, where the user chooses a scene, characters and auxiliary objects according to his preferences, creates and voices his own story. On the application home page, users can view all the images that can be used for creating animations. The images are divided into three categories: heroes, stage scenery, additional living and non-living objects. The main page for creating animations is divided into three areas: the largest area is for displaying and moving the characters, objects and scenes of the story, the other two areas help you choose the images that will be used in the story. As a result of this work, a project has been developed and is being piloted to bring about positive changes in the education of children with special needs.The introduction of information and communication technologies into the educational process opens up new opportunities, improves the quality of education and makes it more accessible, as well as expands the teacher’s capabilities when working with children. The use of information and communication technologies makes it possible for students with special needs to participate fully in the educational process and to receive a quality education.
