AEA Scout is a new online portal that provides access to many of the quality digital resources currently provided by Iowa’s AEAs. Initially, 6th-12th grade students will benefit from a one-stop-shop for their research needs, and teachers can rest easy knowing their students are searching the quality content they’ve come to know and trust.
With AEA Scout, students have the ability to dig deeper in their quest for information. A wide variety of sources of information in multiple formats will be at their fingertips when they search within AEA Scout. This new way of information gathering also encourages students’ curiosity and builds a foundation for lifelong learning.
What makes AEA Scout special?
- Single sign-on: access 9 different resources in 1 interface
- Quality digital content: 1,000s of vetted resources from recognized publishers and producers
- Predictive functions: suggests materials & resources based on usage and interest areas
- Personalized learning experience: create folders, share resources, highlight & take notes
- Features for all learners: language translations, read-aloud & closed captioning, adjusting font & background colors
