New Online Databases for 2011-12

There is a change in the online databases that will be offered in 2011-12. Teachers will have more engaging and age-appropriate resources to integrate in their units. Students will have easy access to multimedia and e-text for just-in-time learning. Parents will have homework helpers readily available. Find more information at http://www.aea11.k12.ia.us/library/OnlineDatabases.

Note that Britannica Digital Library replaces World Book. Gale eResources replaces part of EBSCO. CultureGrams is new. SIRS Issues Researcher is new. The following databases have been available to you for a couple of years and are now available statewide: BookFLIX, Teen Health & Wellness, Soundzabound, Atomic Learning’s ATT and 21st Century Skills. Due to an increase in price, DEStreaming will not be offered statewide--stay tuned for more information and options for accessing that content. Workshops on how to integrate these resources in teaching will be offered. Promotional materials for students and parents will be available this summer.
