I know that I talk about these every year first becasue it is an ovbious choice but they have wonderful informaiton and are easy to use. The online resources that are available are all free for you to use. You can go to the IowaAEA online http://www.iowaaeaonline.org/ to go to the
website. You also can go to AEA11's webpage http://www.aea11.k12.ia.us/ and click on the 
"Resource and Research Tools." Then you can choose from the wide array of online resources.Some of these are geared toward lower elementray students to use, others are for middle school or HS. Some of these are targeted at teachers to be aids in the classroom instruction. Others can be used by any student at any level.
There are many reasons that I push these resources so much. First: They are FREE!!! As educators there are only limited things that are free and to find good things that are free is even harder. Second: These are resources with great information. Some of these are selected by other educators and even added to and modified by educators. The information that is available is often more accurate and reliable. We as teachers that belong to one of the largest AEAs that provide all of these resources should feel privelaged. Not all AEA's provide all of these resources. Please take advantage and use these resources. While I have a link set up for the IowaAEA set up on the library web page, there are additional resources that are only availble through our AEA. For these you need to go through AEA 11's website.
For all of these resources, you will be asked to log in. You will need to enter your specific school username and the password provided by the AEA. Please come and see me if you have any questions about what your username or password may be.
