MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE IN ICTs USE FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSE For Research - I use Mendeley for my publications: It is an open source. http: //www. mendeley. com/download-mendeleydesktop/ - I use a lot academic phrase bank for my writings: http: //www. phrasebank. manchester. ac. uk/introdu cing-work/ SPSS 11 27/11/2020

FOR TEACHING I use Open Educational Resources (it is like classwork academy) However: We should think of being contributors of content , not Just users. I also use Slide Share eg. http: //www. slideshare. net/gauravixd/solar-system 3206610 I have skills to teach using Moodle Platform pure or blended Learning Programmes 12 27/11/2020
