The intention of this wiki is to provide schools within Keystone AEA 1 with a central data base containing guidance, resources, recommendations, suggestions, tips and hints to successfully and painlessly navigate not only the initial application process but also to help ensure successful alignment/integration with implementation of the Iowa Core.
Be sure to check the links in the SideBar to the right for more detailed information about the settlement and ideas for implementation in your building.
Let us know what Keystone AEA 1 can do to help you with both the application process and technology curricular integration with the Iowa Core. We are here to help!
Don't forget to contact Keystone when planning your Technology Integration Professional Development sessions. Research has shown the importance of current professional development emphasizing hands-on technology use (Fatemi, 1999; Office of Technology Assessment, 1995; Panel on Educational Technology, 1997). A well-planned, ongoing professional development program that is tied to the school's curriculum goals, designed with built-in evaluation, and sustained by adequate financial and staff support is essential if teachers are to use technology appropriately to promote learning for all students in the classroom.
