The classification includes two large groups of digital educational resources: online services and mobile applications. Each of the groups, in turn, is divided into subgroups. Online services include those for testing students' knowledge and those with supporting material for teachers. Mobile applications include creative applications and selfmonitoring and student performance monitoring apps. The purpose of the study is to analyze the current digital educational resources and to offer their classification. The authors have developed and proposed a classification of modern digital educational resources. The features of each element of this classification have been identified. Finally, conclusions are made about the need to improve the educational process for schoolchildren in order to ensure higher and better results of educational activities. The authors note that the existing problem of educating children of the generation Z needs to be addressed with the help of digital educational resources, including the development of tools, techniques, practices and methods to increase the attention and interest of pupils to learning.
