More on AET (New to PA!)

The following message was shared today with the Pennslyvania Ag Teachers! I thought it might be helpful to you as well. 

Dr. Hanagriff will be guest speaking in our class on November 12th. 

Dear Agricultural Education Teachers,

Each of you have access to The Agricultural Experience Tracker or commonly called the The AET.  This program is utilized by 42 states and over 300,000 students to offer a unique record book solution to agricultural education students and teachers.  We are excited that your state has joined AET.  In 2012-13 school year, we had over 2,500 PA student accounts from 21% of your programs, so we are excited to serve your entire state.  

New features for AET this year include 

• AET Badges, to reward students with outstanding nationally ranked records, 
• a new process for teachers to review student records and rank students eligible for awards, 
• a new process for teachers/student to collaborate in their AET calendar and then export those details directly into NFFA's National Chapter Award.
• new AET web features, where you can develop your AET and have the details you control shared on your own website hosted by The AET.
• plus...many more.

Teachers can access The AET by going to our site (www.theaet.com) and selecting the "Teacher" sign in.  Your chapter state and number (PAXXXX) serve as your chapter and password log in (Make sure to use upper case PA or your current password if you are already a user).  You can follow our "Teachers Help" area to learn more or follow this short "Getting Started Guide for Teacher link here" - http://learn.theaet.com/F/learn/8-22-2013%20Teachers%20Getting%20Started%20Guide.pdf
