The website provides a number of additional links and information for teachers and the general public, for example about the teacher´s card and all the benefits it provides - www.itic.sk, about creating interactive jobs - www.programalf.sk, about training for teachers - http://www.skolskyportal.sk/skolenia, the literature for schools and teachers - www.preskoly.sk, about teaching modern and efficient - http://www.skolskyportal.sk/tag/ucme-moderne-efektivne.

For me as a teacher of mathematics it is very interesting and useful site, which can be used in the preparation of my teaching of mathematics, e.g. how to plan math lesson, or what educational games can be used on a given topic, and especially how to adapt the topic to students and to their level of mathematics, which is still one of the most unpopular subjects for students. Very useful are also topics on project learning and problem-solving learning.

I do not have much to write about it, because it is designed especially for teachers.
