Districts Making Big Strides with netTrekker
d.i.
Cincinnati, OH - netTrekker d.i. first hit classrooms
last September, but the safe Internet search engine is quickly
becoming a "must-have" resource in many districts. Educators find
that netTrekker d.i. helps them meet numerous, significant
goals, including:
- Keeping kids safe from online predators
- Providing a technology-rich education
- Providing a homework resource that students and parents can use at home
- Helping ESL/ELL students learn.
netTrekker d.i. is even being recognized in the industry
as one of the best products available. The search engine has been
named a finalist in three categories of the Software & Information
Industry Association's 21st Annual CODiE Awards:
- Best Instructional Solution: English Language Acquisition
- Best Instructional Solution: Web-based or Online
- Best Instructional Solution: Classroom Management
Indianapolis Public is the latest school district to provide netTrekker
d.i. as a resource to its educators, students and parents,
beginning a district-wide subscription on March 1st.
