The relevance of using the Telegram channel for teaching biology in college

In the modern educational process, messengers play an important role as a means of communication and knowledge transfer. One of the most popular tools is Telegram, which offers extensive opportunities for organizing distance and blended learning. This article examines the relevance of using the Telegram channel as a platform for teaching biology in college. The paper analyzes the advantages of Telegram channels, such as ease of access, the ability to instantly update information, interactivity and multimedia. It is noted that, thanks to the built-in functions (bots, testing, discussions), Telegram channels can help increase students' motivation, develop their independence, and deepen their learning. In addition, the paper discusses the methodological aspects of the introduction of the Telegram channel into the educational process in biology, as well as provides examples of successful use of this tool. Ways to adapt educational content to the messenger format are discussed, including data visualization, publication of short theoretical materials, tests and assignments. It should be noted that the results of the study show that the Telegram channel can be an effective complement to traditional methods of teaching biology, contributing to increased student engagement and improving the quality of the educational process. Based on the above, we can conclude that the use of Telegram channels in the educational environment of colleges is promising.
