BIOGRAPHY

Nermina Usejnovski, prof. B / H / S language and literature in primary school. I like innovation in teaching, especially new technologies, in 2016. in very difficult conditions, I worked with SOLE method students, and in this school year I introduced innovation in teaching literature and showed how new technologies can be used in the teaching of literature, in this case, Google Earth in the teaching of literature.

Google Earth in the literature lectures

Correlation of teaching content is special and necessary because students give the opportunity to use the knowledge from one subject to understand the teaching units from other subjects, and when the teaching of literature is concerned, then the possibilities are really wide. The correlation between literature and geography is not uncommon, but when Google Earth interacts with it, it can be truly magical.

PRESENTATION

OPEN DATASETS- The potential for developing competition

Today’s knowledge is more reliable because of a huge presence of data which is used in a synthesis of knowledge. In most cases, this is a closed type of data with a lot of restrictions that follow it. With the usage of open data (publicly available data) the whole society’s awareness is brought to another level and in education it enables a better preparation for future personnel to handle digital challenges.
