NetTrekker was also very helpful to me. I have been researching web sites with lesson plans for my teachers for a number of years. NetTrekker was a great resource. In the past, I have recommended sites like Teacher's Domain, Curriki, and MIT's Open Courseware (specifically for the high school). This is a much better resource than any of my pages. This is something I would like to look in to as a future resource. We have plenty of resources in our library and labs for students like databases, computers, and books. We do not have nearly as many resources for our teachers.
Once again, I found the readings to be the most difficult thing for me. I am not one who learns by reading and answering questions. I am a much more hands on person.
Hi Mike--I'm with netTrekker and saw your blog post. Is there anything we can do to help you and your colleagues get more familiar with netTrekker's abilities to help teachers and students get more out of digital resources? Would you like a free trial of the product to share with your peers?
ReplyDeleteA trial might be nice. I was unsure of the price after looking at the site. I would like to see my teachers reactions after a trial.
ReplyDeleteWe'd be happy to set you up with a free trial--just you, or would you also like to connect others with a free trial?

If you need any help, shoot me an email at kwertz@nettrekker.com or call my cell at 937 307 6612 and I'll hook you up with a nettrekker expert.
If you haven't before take a look at www.thinkfinity.org it is similar to NetTrekker and free. It contains lesson plans and resources for all grade levels.
ReplyDeleteMike,
ReplyDeleteI agree that I liked NetTrekker for the most part. I think it is important to give teachers as many resources as possible. I find it difficult sometimes being a newer teacher having enough interesting material. Thank you for the links, I will take a look at them.
