Critical Issues Concerning K-12 Internet Use on a local level, conference planners decided to invite teams from six iowa schooldistricts to a working conference on the use of Internet in k12 schools. http://www.uni.edu/coe/iel/intsum.html
Extractions: Instructional Resources and Technology Services The communication age, according to David Thornburg, is here (Betts, 1994). The prevailing evidence supporting Thornburg's assertion is the vast interest and growth of the Internet and the concurrent interest among K-12 educators in integrating this computer network into school life. Evidence of this keen interest can be found in the many Internet articles in the popular and professional literature, the rapid growth of commercial Internet vendors, and in communities developing and expanding community networks to provide citizens access to the Internet. Schools, it seems, always get mentioned when the issue of Internet arises. America Online has numerous features for teachers and students and cable and phone companies tell us, via sophisticated ads, that the future is with them. And here in Iowa we have the Iowa Communications Network, a fiber-optic communication network that hopefully will allow K-12 schools greater Internet access. Amidst this great array of potential resources are the educators of Iowa. Many of whom are exploring how they can utilize the Internet in their schools. As educators meet the challenge of providing Internet access to students and staff, a variety of questions and concerns naturally arise. Because the use of the Internet often becomes a community project, questions and concerns should be addressed by the educational communityincluding Area Education Agencies (AEAs), parents, PTAs, and the Iowa Department of Education, as well as the community at largeincluding public libraries and businesses.

Digitaliowa I Teacher Shortage in iowa schools in the areas that need them the most. The shortage areas in iowaconsist of nine areas under special education, such as k12 behavior disorders http://www.drake.edu/journalism/digitaliowa/teachers.html
Extractions: Drake University DES MOINES, IowaMany schools nationwide have been complaining of a shortage of teachers for their schools. Some communities are so desperate for good teachers they have started to look overseas to recruit teachers. Iowa faces the problem, too, but is trying hard to solve the situation. Brenda Easter, director of special programs for the Iowa College Student Aid Comission, said the shortage is a result of the significant number of teachers nearing retirement age. "In the next five years, most of the 'baby boom' generation will be getting ready to go on retirement," Easter said. "So until we have enough teachers to replace them when they leave, there will be a tremendous shortage of teachers in the schools." Easter said to combat the situation, the Iowa Department of Education came up with a teacher forgivable loan plan. She said, "This loan is targeted specifically for Iowa residents who are presently in eligible Iowa colleges/universities, and they must be able to teach in an Iowa shortage area." This loan was intended to ensure there will be teachers in Iowa schools in the areas that need them the most. The shortage areas in Iowa consist of nine areas under special education, such as K-12 behavior disorders, K-12 mental disabilities and K-6 learning disabilities. It also consists of 11 areas under regular education, such as K-12 counselor, 7-12 health and K-12 principal. Students who are eligible and participate in this program can have 100 percent of their loan forgiven provided they teach in one of the shortage areas for five years. For each year of the five-year service obligation fulfilled, 20 percent of the forgivable loan is deducted.
