The One of the great problems faced for generation of educational material for the Practically there is almost no educational material turned to the to p; teaching of remote sensing, in developing countries, is the high teaching of primary, secondary and tertiary teaching (mainly appl cost of the data technical teaching) or document of a more informative the approach, that could be used at professionals training that do mate Unfortunately for some schools and even universities, this not work directly with remote sensing, but that can influence in to d material in the analogical its diffusion, such as decision makers, opinion formers, acqi or digital form continues to be very expensive. For example, administrators, planners, lawyers, etc in si each quadrant, three channels, costs around US$ 723.00, this, in to s< a country that has its own reception antenna. This happens because the use of orbital images for the study of rese; the environment is very recent, it is only 34 years old, which to n These costs still increase, when it is a country that does not makes that its universe is still considered small in relation to part possess its own antenna, as it is the case of most of the other areas of the science and technology, more traditional. of re developing countries. In these countries the costs of the images to rr in the digital form can be above US$ 3,000.00. Even so, it is necessary to create textbooks or pedagogic educ notebooks to be used as educational material at all levels of This has forbidden that many technical schools and formal teaching , in such a way that the universe of users of Th> undergraduation courses use these data in a wide way, hindering remote sensing data can be enlarged and, consequently, make then in this way that their students have contact with remote sensing this technology widely used in benefit of the preservation of data during their formation period. natural resources. wide mair prog
