netTrekker

 

The technology department is pleased to announce the recent purchase of netTrekker, the trusted search engine for students, teachers, librarians, and parents to use.  We’re very excited about the learning opportunities that netTrekker provides our school.  Here are just a few reasons why we’ve chosen netTrekker:

§         Designed for education: netTrekker is a revolutionary Internet search engine created specifically for students, teachers, librarians and parents.

§         Searching is easy: netTrekker contains over 180,000 educator-selected online resources organized by the K-12 curricula, so searching is logical and easy.

§         Safe for students: All netTrekker websites have been selected and evaluated by educators so students receive only safe, relevant results every time they use the Internet.

§         Helpful to educators: netTrekker delivers resources, including 18,000 lesson plans and learning exercises that are aligned with our state standards.
