## Teaching resources ##

The selection of teaching resources aims at reaching several purposes which go beyond the learning of their creation and use: first we want to encourage independent learning of students by selecting most attractive tools for learning, which also combine procedural learning and development of competencies. This orientation is the basis of the innovative nature of the project presented (González, 2008). In addition, we aim to help teachers in teaching programming and planning, by offering them a selection of the most appropriate resources about didactics of the geography. This allow us to enhance reflection on the role of the teacher as a mediator in the process of teaching and learning (Marquès, 2011), where the teacher has to contribute to the construction of knowledge, encourage critical and reflective attitudes, as well as to promote learner autonomy.

Teaching resources section is intended to provide support to teachers and, where appropriate, to students, to find and use materials that are available on the Web for teaching and learning processes. In fact, using ICT tools ICT skills are fostered. In this sense, this section aims at encouraging information management and research skills, as well a critical thinking, by providing teachers and students with reliable sources and quality resources. Therefore, this section focuses on enabling quick and easy access to educational games, activities, resources and educational experiences that make easier work in the classroom.

These resources have been designed as a complement of handbooks, providing examples where teachers can find, in combination, geographic information usually scattered in different sources. Priority has been given to the language of images (maps, aerial photographs and pictures), but these are supplemented by a short explanatory text. Finally, relevant to teaching geography experiences have also been collected.
