Resource guide for teaching staff

From the ETSAB IT Service we want to help teachers with a small information guide that we find useful for carrying out the teaching activity. For this, we have compiled a set of applications, gadgets and services that may be of your interest.

Classroom Resources

The school classrooms are equipped with audiovisual systems through which you can project audio and video. Specifically, you have a PC connected to a projector, a speaker system and the possibility of connecting your laptop or other devices to project images or sound.

You can check all the equipment in the classrooms with the infoAules application.

Classroom EA-61

This classroom is a particular case, it is equipped with an interactive screen instead of the audiovisual systems installed in the rest of the school's classrooms.

The Oriol Bohigas Library Factoria - ETSAB offers you advice on the creation of multimedia material, such as video recording and editing (with power point files, microvideos), material scanning (slides) or image retouching.
