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.
