The ASSET Education Portal, created by ASSET (Arizona School Services through Educational Technology) in partnership with Classroom Connects Connected University™, offers Arizona's K-12 teachers a variety of technology-related professional development opportunities and curriculum resources. Online information includes more than 10,000 video clips from 1,200 different programs and online courses designed to provide teachers with practical, classroom-applicable learning experiences.
Teachers begin by first assessing their technology skills and then developing a customized professional development program based on the following categories:
-
Professional Development: Access to a broad range of guided and self-paced courses from ASSET, Connected University™, and TeacherLine. Also features a host of tips and tutorials to help teachers sharpen their technology and teaching skills.
- Curriculum Resources: Offers a collection of websites, downloadable lessons, and access to more than 1,500 video titles available for subject-specific lesson plans.
- Community: Allows teachers to discover what is going on in their community to connect with other educators through ASSET-sponsored discussion boards.
The educational arm of KAET-Public Television at Arizona State University, ASSET also allows teachers to chart their progress, evaluate their technology competencies, and create an individualized professional development plan.
