Introducing AEA PD Online!

For the first time, all of the AEAs are putting their online courses in one place. The result is AEA PD Online, and it is up and running, available for registration.

Educators across the state have taken advantage of online courses. Online courses fit better in busy schedules, as instructors can choose when during the day it works for them to log in. They provide a 21st century learning experience, embedded with digital resources and self-directed activity, mixed with digital collaboration with classmates. And it saves on the costs of gas!

Currently the AEAs are offering summer courses on Google Apps, project-based learning, integration of web 2.0 tools, and much more. To register for courses, check out our registration system at https://prodev.aeapdonline.org. For more information, check out our website at http://www.iowaaea.org, and click on the "AEA PD Online link."
