Nowadays, the world requires skilled specialists in all spheres of life. In turn, the effectiveness of their education depends on both their will and the teacher's professionalism. This study investigates the advantages of the implementation of information technologies and the possible associated difficulties. It was found that in order to achieve the desired effect and to improve significantly the training level of young specialists, including student-teachers, it is necessary to change radically the concept of education and to create new exceptional and innovative methods that would meet the requirements and rate of development of modern technologies in the twenty-first century. It is worth mentioning the other factors that affect the effectiveness of new educational methods, for instance, the personal interest of teachers, diligence, and enthusiasm of students for the new approach. Considering the rate at which innovations are being implemented in all spheres of life and the fact that both the younger and older generation have to use modern technologies, one should expect that in the near future, the demand for highly skilled specialists will rise sharply in various fields, which requires developing and implementing new educational methods. It is worth noting that old methods are becoming ineffective and incapable of yielding practical results in areas where new methods that use advanced technologies provide for complete understanding of the material, process or practical value for the students.
