ERAC NEWSLETTER

Resource Collection


ERAC's Online Collection is an online, searchable compilation of resources used in classrooms. Educators and administrators can quickly find products to meet their resource needs using a keyword,or common criteria in the basic search page or by refining their search parameters in the advanced search including a particular subject, class or grade. Attractive stylized icons draw attention to key product considerations and their colours and content carry distinct meanings. Quick Tips

The collection list and search function is available to the general public; however, the full product review, detailing additional product information and an evaluation summary is available to teachers and administrators of ERAC district and independent school members only. This information is valuable when selecting products to use or make purchasing decisions.

The Collection started with titles evaluated by ERAC and grows constantly. As ERAC, its members and the vendor community work together, content from other jurisdiction's catalogues will be added. The first phase of this initiative will begin in the spring of 2011 with the BC Ministry of Education's Catalogue of Learning Resources.

"Our experience with ERAC has been good. We take advantage of what we can as a small district. Main things are the Microsoft licensing, database bundle, document cameras and buying of technology like SmartBoards."
