An educational resource is any material that facilitates the teacher its function: it helps him to imrpove his explanation so that knowledges arrive in a clearly way. These materials may be videos, books, graphics, images, activities, films, and any element that we can imagine that may help the comprehension of an idea. Innovation is the key for the education progress.
Educational resources provide information to the student, they are a guide for his learning and are a key element fot motivation and interest of the student. Currently, with a PC it is possible to access to miles of resources that facilitate the education process: teaching planning is more accessible than ever before.
One of these source of mains of teaching methodology is the Ministry of Education. In the section of recursos de su web (recources of its web) we find categories, such as ‘bank of resources’, ‘materials’, ‘counselling portals’, ‘ICT educational portals’ and ‘tools for material development’.
In ‘Bancos de recursos (Bank of resources)’ there are different sources, the most interesting may be the INTEF, Bank of Resources of the National Institute of Educational Technologies and of Teaching Training. In ‘Materiales (Materials)’ section we find several sources, but URUK, a method born in adult education classrooms, can be really useful when talking about academic excellence.
‘Portales de orientación (Counselling Portals)’ helps students to decide their future, since this section presents several sources that guides students in their academic career. In ‘Portales TIC para la educación (ICT educational portals)’ we find CEDEC, Spanish National Centre for Curriculum Development in non Propietary Systems. Its aim is the creation of an Open Education Resources (OERs) that delve into the implantation of Information and Communications Technologies in the Educational Sector. In educaLAB we have data and analysis coming from researchs, experimentation and innovation in order to help professors and educational system.
Last section we find in Ministry of Education web page is called ‘Herramientas para el desarrollo de materiales (Tools for material development)’, where proyecto Arquímedes (among others) is located. This project makes possible the creation of Mathematics interactive activities.
All these resources search an academic excellence, in order to keep training day by day, and also to a better understanding of the student’s knowledge.
