Digital didactic materials and coronavirus during confinement in the Spanish context

Abstract

In this paper, a description and analysis of the main proposals of didactic materials that have been elaborated on COVID-19 (coronavirus) directed to a child and youth public available on the network in the Spanish context was made. In the first part of the paper we reflect on the reasons and needs that have justified the appearance and development of these resources. Subsequently, we present the search process carried out mainly through the Google search engine and the final selection of the materials considered. Next, a descriptive analysis of the materials was carried out using an elaborated ad hoc matrix that integrates 5 dimensions. As a general conclusion, we highlight the diversity of resources produced and the need for the coronavirus to be part of future proposals for materials, textbooks and educational work at school.
