FORUMS
Of all kinds of work performed online, one of the most important was our participation in the 3rd-year forums. I should say, it was an interesting experience, though at first sight we were just expressing our impressions of various things. What I liked most were experiments with Photofunia and Tuxpi, as well as comments on visiting the Tretyakov Gallery and the Ozerov House.Forum 1: Курс "Основы педагогического дизайна": мои ожидания
Forum 2 (My Last Visit to the Theatre (Term 6, 2012-2013)) - didn't take part
Forum 5 (My Tuxpi for Photofunia Experts (bonus)) - didn't take part

GMAIL
For our practice all of us had to create a Google account and learned how to use its mail service, Gmail. I hadn't used this browser before and certainly had nown nothing about its services, but now I know it's the same system as mail.ru, for example. For business and just for communication it's very convenient!
ARTBABBLE
Next, we were to leave 2 comments on Artbabble (mine were the ones on pictures by Claude Monet and by Vincent van Gogh), having registered there beforehand (by the way, it's only for that I had to create an account on Facebook). I rather liked this site, really, for a huge amount of data is collected here on various painters, both world famous and those not yet recognized, and their masterpieces. Besides, I learned much about various techniques used in art, and even saw some theatrical performances.
ONLINE POLL
My poll was about Russian painters (I just wanted to know if the others were aware about any). Well, I was rather disappointed to learn that the test was difficult for many - in my opinion, the questions were rather simple! But, after the visit to the Tretyakov Gallery, I saw that my groupmates became well-informed about and even interested in painting! And, about the poll itself: I believe this form of questioning, which seems very promising, will help me in my work in the future.
ONLINE GRAMMAR POLL
One more poll we were to make ourselves and to take part in was intended to test our grammar. First of all, each of us had a special grammar topic (for instance, The Sequence of Tenses in my case), and then created a test on this base. It was not an unusual kind of work, for we had to deal with such tests before, but still it was not easy to make up tasks. Besides, we learned that there're fields in grammar we still knew not very much of))
