Vikidahije

27 FEBRUARY AT 14.45 | HALL 'ENTER'

This song is hard for every student since it is long and full of unfamiliar words and concepts. Teachers of Informatics and Serbian language thought that this song might become fun if they involve materials of modern technology into its processing. That is why they helped the students create a wiki page dedicated to this song.

Anđelka has graduated from the Faculty of Philology in Belgrade. She works as a professor of Serbian language and literature, and civic education in the Mathematical High School in Belgrade. One of her interest is application of modern technologies in teaching.
