A platform with activity ideas and open educational resources, proposed by teachers in Romania. A teacher picks the grade and the subject and finds what they need for tomorrow's lesson.

One search instead of two.

In November 2026 we rebuilt the platform: a new design, a new logo and a rethought search.

Before, ideas and resources were searched on two separate pages, each with seven drop-down lists and no keyword search. The list of apps had 199 options for ideas and 194 for resources.

Now the home page searches them together. The teacher starts from the grade and the subject, and ministry-approved items are a filter, not separate pages.

The platform before the rebuild: the list of resources, with seven drop-down lists above it.

How it works.

  1. The grade

    The teacher picks one or more grades, from preschool to post-secondary. The list changes on the spot.

  2. The subject

    The list shows only the subjects that have results for the chosen grade, with their count.

  3. The other filters

    The app used, the type of resource, the language and ministry approval.

  4. Search

    By title, app, author or competence. It also works without Romanian diacritics.

  5. The resource page

    The open button sits at the top, under the title. Then come the description, the competences it targets and the author.

  6. The app page

    Each app has its own page, with the ideas and resources in which other teachers use it.

The list filtered by grade 7 and Mathematics: 153 ideas and resources.

Who contributes.

Digitaledu is a programme developed by Institutul pentru Educație and Social IT. The content comes from teachers and students.

  • Proposals start on iTeach.ro

    The teacher proposes the resource from their iTeach.ro account, in the Resources section.

  • A specialist reads it

    Proposals are read by a specialist in education sciences before they are published.

  • Names appear with consent

    For activity ideas, the contributor's name is shown only with their consent.

  • Approval is visible

    Part of the content is approved by the Ministry of Education as teaching material. The decision is shown on the resource page.

  • A certificate for the author

    The author receives a certificate for every resource description entered on the platform.

  • An open licence

    The content is licensed CC BY-NC-SA 4.0: it can be used freely, as long as the source is credited.

Details that matter.

  • The grade comes first

    The grade buttons sit right under the search box, grouped by level. A whole level can be picked as well.

  • The count is shown in advance

    Every filter option shows how many results it has. Grades with no results are dimmed.

  • Colour shows the type

    Yellow for ideas, red for resources, blue for apps. Everything else is white, black and grey.

  • Filtering happens in the browser

    The platform writes an index of all ideas and resources, and the filters work on it. The server counts nothing on each choice.

  • The list shows without JavaScript too

    The first results are written by the server. If the script does not start, the list stays on the page.

  • No account

    Searching and opening resources need no account. An iTeach.ro account is only needed to propose one.

Results.

On 11 November 2026, the platform had 16,376 ideas and resources: 1,693 activity ideas and 14,683 open educational resources. They were published by 3,994 teachers and students, and 521 are approved by the Ministry of Education.

In 2026 the European Commission, through its agency EACEA, featured Digitaledu in the publication “Advancing digital education for every learner: Innovative practices from the EU”. Since 2020 the platform has been part of the European network EdReNe.
