Considering the need for accessible and focused educational material in the ecological-biological area, the development of an edublog is presented to assist in the understanding and application of first-order linear differential equations (LDEs) in the mathematical modeling of ecological processes. It provides detailed explanations of concepts such as exponential growth and decay, logistic growth, Newton’s law of cooling, and the mixing model, with step-by-step solutions to examples focused on biology, both typed and handwritten. The edublog is now available to students and is presented to a group of Mathematics II students from the Biology program at FES Zaragoza, who provide feedback after exploring each option on the menu. Subsequently, these students have used screenshots from the blog’s examples in some of their presentations, indicating that the resource is proving useful. This blog is complemented by another one on integration techniques, with the same focus on showing step-by-step solutions to exercises, aiming to create a virtual learning environment on integral calculus and the applications.
