Welcome to the Ottawa Area Intermediate School District’s METS Project wiki. The METS Project is a resource for educators seeking guidance on the technologies that align with their subject/grade level curriculum expectations.

Use the Content Integration link on the left to navigate to your grade level and discipline. Each discipline is broken into strands containing links to technology integration examples that align to state-level GLCEs and METS standards. These examples show how technology can be used in instruction.

Phase 1 of the METS project address English-Language Arts, Mathematics, and the Arts. We will add additional subjects as state-level GLCEs are published.
