On September 6, 2006 Arkansas Educational Television Network (AETN) premiered the Arkansas Internet Delivered Education for Arkansas Schools (IDEAS) portal free to every school and teacher in Arkansas as a response to state laws and requirements for additional training for teachers. AETN’s IDEAS web portal offers resources such as Teacherline, video streaming, Arkansas Technical Institute Online, the AETN Scholar Channel, and the means to hold online communication with other educators. AETN's services will be available “anytime, anywhere” to every teacher, administrator and student in 300 school districts.

"With the Internet Delivered Education for Arkansas Schools (IDEAS) portal, AETN leads the nation in progressive training for teachers," stated Allen Weatherly, AETN Executive Director.

Working with the Arkansas Department of Education and other partners, AETN has expanded all areas of its educational services and intends to continue its growth of educational professional development resources. Arkansas IDEAS is provided by the Arkansas On-line Professional Development Initiative through a committed partnership of the Arkansas Educational Television Network and the Arkansas Department of Education
