Iowa AEA Online Databases
Fourth and fifth-grade students at Madison School learned about some of the incredible resources that are available to them for no cost thanks to the state of Iowa Area Education Agencies. The Iowa AEA Online Databases include resources for research, graphic arts, videos, electronic and audio books, technology tutorials, and much more. Students participated in a four corners game to determine which database would be the best to use in a particular situation.
You can find these resources at https://www.iowaaea.org. Contact your school's Teacher Librarian for usernames and passwords.
