Teaching and Learning Resource Center (CREA)
Teaching and Learning Resource Centre (Centro de Recursos para la Enseñanza y el Aprendizaje or CREA) helps teachers to produce digital learning materials and resources for all areas and departments of the school, exploring the potential of new technologies in education.
One of their goals is to increase the quality and variety of teaching materials with which their students learn. Learning is particularly effective for the students when they are engaged in producing their own solution to the challenges they have to deal with. This is the educational 2.0 approach that the school wants to foster in its students. Students are placed at the centre, and this gives them the possibility to produce. More than this, students have an active say in what they produce and the way they are going to produce. All the students have their own individual netbooks to carry out collaborative tasks in all the subjects.
This works by accompanying and advising teachers in the preparation of proposals within the framework of educational technology and collaborating in the professionalization of the processes of didactic materials. CREA is a continuous observatory of educational and technological trends.
Virtual Campus
ORT Argentina's Virtual Campus enables students and teachers to develop teaching-learning activities based on research, problem solving, project development, knowledge construction and communication within a context enriched and enhanced by new technologies.
It provides students and teachers with a fast, versatile space for publication and cooperative production, as well as with important space to record, communicate and update the daily activities of ORT Argentina. It is widely used by teachers and students from all the campuses, including primary school, high school and the Institute of Technology. As a result, specific projects, classes, events, teachers and students can use the Campus to involve the community in their everyday work and productions. For the families, it is the virtual space where they can see what their children are learning and how, through the productions that are posted at the different parts of the educational platform.
ORT’s Virtual Campus allows each teacher to customize the contents for every group according to its rhythm in learning and the modalities the students require. Through its own programming team, new functionalities are added, and also services for teachers, students and school principals.
Editorial ORT: Open educational materials for all schools
Editorial ORT is a department meant for sharing our educational materials with other schools, bringing the excellence of ORT to everyone who speaks Spanish.
The same material is developed in different formats: online, offline, and a printable version, so that everyone can use it.
What makes Editorial ORT stand out is that the educational units come with a teacher’s guide to help them understand how:
- this unit was made
- what is expected from each part
- the purpose of it
All educational materials are free to use for all teachers that have previously made an account on the site. Today there are subscribers from more than six hundred schools and educational institutes, located in all the Provinces of Argentina and in more than thirteen countries around the world, such as Uruguay, Brazil, Mexico, Israel and the United States.
This is part of the objective: to bring and share knowledge with all the educational community.
NEO: Ed Tech newsletter for the educational community
NEO is an Ed Tech newsletter for the educational community that is delivered biweekly through a free email subscription. Every edition shares materials for all educational subjects and levels, with several educational experiences, ed-tech resources and ongoing training materials. The project also has a resource box that categorizes them according to the theme of the resource or its functionality.
The newsletter is co created by three areas of ORT Argentina: the Virtual Campus, Editorial ORT and CREA, Teaching and Learning Resource Center.
