netTrekker, The Trusted Search Engine for Schools,
New Sponsor of Technology & Learning Magazine’s Site
of the Day
Award-winning Product and Publication Committed to Helping
Educators Better Utilize the Internet
Cincinnati, OH - netTrekker, the trusted search
engine for schools, is proud to announce that it is the new sole
sponsor of Technology and Learning magazine’s Site of the
Day on TtechLEARNING.com, its award-winning website for the 2004-05
school year. Site of the Day encourages educator use of the Internet
and posts a hand-selected and reviewed website daily that is appropriate
and relevant for teaching and learning. This section of T&L’s
website is a favorite among educators and receives a high volume
of traffic, making it a very popular success for the publication.
“The sponsorship of this valuable online tool was a natural
fit for netTrekker. As the premier provider of high quality
online resources for the education community, it made perfect sense
that we would partner with Site of the Day. Educators see great
value in the resources they find there. If they’d like access
to even more sites that cover the complete K-12 curricula, netTrekker
delivers more than 180,000, including lesson plans and learning
exercises!” states Donna Trivett, Director of Marketing for
netTrekker.
As the new sponsor, netTrekker will provide many of the
components of its user-friendly search results format to Site of
the Day, including icons representing grade level, media type and
more. “The addition of the netTrekker easy to read
icons makes information on the Site of the Day page easy to scan,
conveying more content than ever before, in shorter time, which
is of great value to teachers.” adds Gwen Solomon, Director
of techLEARNING.com.
