http://www.techlearning.com/ In the Field with netTrekker d.i.: At Mesquite ISD in Texas, educators and students struggled in the past to find safe, pornography-free images on the Internet to use in classroom activities. Mary Woodard, Director of Library Services, said, "One of the struggles in our district is how to provide quality, appropriate images for our students to use in projects and presentations. The Google image search was just too risky. The new image search in netTrekker d.i. is just what we needed to solve this problem." netTrekker Feedback: Your feedback is important to us and we welcome your comments and suggestions about our newsletter and netTrekker.
