The historical training of education professionals has become a priority in the different plans and study programs implemented since the revolutionary triumph to date. The arguments for maintaining this priority in the training of the higher professional in educational sciences are based on the role of this professional in the training of new generations. Historical training provides a system of knowledge that underpins the professionalism of the model of educator that the country needs to promote in students the love of homeland, mastery of the history of Cuba, the knowledge of the leading figures of the pro-independence exploits and international collaboration, as well as the value of the principles that underlie the revolutionary process,among many other aspects that would make this list endless. A very important component to achieve these objectives is the mastery of the History of the Town.

A brief approach to the need for historical training of Education professionals.
The social function performed by the teacher in Cuban society is reinforced every day, more. Within his activity as a professional educator, the work of instructing and educating current and new generations stands out. For this, the transmission of the cultural legacy of our society is of vital importance, where the teaching of the contents of Cuban History and Local History undoubtedly play a significant role.
The contents of Local History and the History of Cuba are a basic component of humanistic and political training. Its contents are carriers of the traditions of the Cuban people, their culture and identity. She allows us to understand where we come from, who we are and where we are going.
The study of historical personalities, processes, and contextual situations allow us to understand the greatness of this people, as well as the meaning of unity and the principles of the revolutionary process in which we participate (Noda, 2015)
The History discipline is committed to the historical education of students, which as we will see in this course implies that they assimilate the universal and national historical knowledge, the development of historical thought, the formation of norms, attitudes and values in correspondence with the social model in that live (Palomo, A., et. al., 2007).
One of the problems that local history goes through, beyond the methods and the actual updating of the contents by the teacher who teaches it, is the lack of bibliography, for both teachers and students.
In this sense, new technologies can greatly contribute to solving this difficulty. This is the case of the multimedia that is presented which has biographies of local martyrs, the local history book, documentary videos, view of objects from the local museum, as well as the symbols of the locality.
The advantages of the reproduction of image and sound, and other resources, make the multimedia meet the didactic requirements to become a viable means of teaching in the study of local history.
Brief description of the Multimedia.
The same is made in Mediator, occupies a disk space of 757 MB. It is compatible with Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows 7, 8 and 10. Therefore, it is easy to transport on mobile devices.
Its design has been tested with third grade elementary school students, such as the lower user limit, and has been easily accessible. The cover features highly distinctive elements of local history. Among them, the cover of the Hoyo de Monterrey, the Shield of San Juan, a photo of Luís and Sergio Saíz Montes de Oca, the church of San Juan, the only surviving building of the burning of San Juan made by the residents who preferred to burn the town, before handing it over to the Spanish. In addition, a dry tobacco leaf is presented as an expression of the agricultural activity that distinguishes the municipality as the Land of the Best Tobacco in the World.
As can be seen on the cover there are seven links that facilitate multimedia navigation. They are:
- Sanjuaneros Patriots.Sites and Monuments.Municipal Symbols.VideosMuseums and their collections.MusicExit
The Sanjuaneros Patriots section presents a biographical synthesis of 37 sanjuaneros patriots from the different stages of the struggles for independence and internationalist missions. All biographies are accompanied by a black and white photo. The organizational criteria of the patriots has been from the different stages of the deeds of independence in four basic stages:
- Patriots of the War of Independence. Patriots of Clandestinity. Patriots of the Lucas against Bandits. Patriots Internationalists.
By marking any of these you will find the patriots of that historical stage, as indicated below. Next, the window that the user will find is presented. She also provides the option to return to the main menu.

Below is an image of the window that allows access to the videos.
Another important multimedia window is the one that shows the municipal symbols. In this case the Shield and the staff of the Hymn of Saint John. As you can see in the lower center of the window you will find the music symbol, just by activating it you can fully listen to the hymn, lyrics and orchestra.
The shield was approved on July 15, 1937 by the Municipal Chamber. It was made by Dr. Luis R. Saíz Delgado, taking Professor Fany Llevada to the canvas.
At the top, a setting sun, sinking into the Caribbean Sea; to one of its extremes the map of the province of Pinar del Río, indicating in black the place that San Juan occupies; and, at another extreme, a piece of land that represents the Yucatan Peninsula. In its two lower thirds, in the first place, the Shield of the Province‖, the pine forests on the banks of the Guamá river and in the distance the Cerro de Cabras; On the right, a tobacco plantation, the house to cure it, the royal palm; and, at a distance, the Ratones hill, all represented in its natural colors.
At the center of the coat of arms emerges a bundle signifying the union of all the peoples of Cuba, and surrounding it, two flowering tobacco bushes, whose extreme stems are joined at the bottom of the bundle by means of a ribbon bearing this sign: From my tobacco the Fame, the entire Orb Proclaims.
Another of the main multimedia windows contains the Museum and its Collections. It contains the Local History Monograph of San Juan y Martínez. Made by a team of territory historians. It is a document that carries out an in-depth study of different stages through which the history of the locality has passed, in adequate connection with national history and the international context in which the historical events take place.
