This is a must read article and one that you can easily forward on to your administrators, staff, school board members and parents.
In most school buildings, the person most familiar with Iowa AEA Online resources is the Teacher Librarian. The TL provides training, works collaboratively with teachers, assists students one to one and insures not only that access to IDs and passwords are easily obtained, but that students can quickly access the databases via library portals.
How does your building or district utilize Iowa AEA Online resources? Look at the statistics. I recently used those stats and school population data to compare districts in AEA10 and shared the results with our staff.

ReplyDeleteThe e-books provided to our students are invaluable. My struggling high school learners can access the TrueFlix books, while stronger students have plenty of choices in the SA e-books.
