You made it until the end of the school year. Congratulations! You may be thinking about your summer plans at this point, and your students might be looking for meaningful learning opportunities during their summer time off. Here at netTrekker, we'll be working all summer to enhance the quality and quantity of our resources. We also work with you, our customers, over the summer as you use netTrekker to train and plan your school use for the 06-07 school year. As you begin preparing for your summer break, here are some things that you may want to consider regarding your use of netTrekker.
Promethean resources now available This month tech-savvy teachers can enjoy an exciting new feature in netTrekker d.i. - links to Promethean lesson plans and resources!

Access nearly 1000 Promethean resources, all available with a simple click of a refinement tab in netTrekker d.i. In future newsletters, look for best practices that include using these great Promethean resources! Usage Statistics Calling all netTrekker Administrators! Remember that your netTrekker usage statistics will be reset to zero for the 06-07 school year in August. Be sure to get all the information you need from the 05-06 school year before the stats are cleared out. URL Reminder Remember to access your netTrekker school subscription at http://school.nettrekker.com. We have had many users think they need to use a different subscription while at home, but they don't - your subscription is tied to the school netTrekker subscription even though you are accessing netTrekker from home.
netTrekker Customers Reach 1 Million Page Views! Congratulations to the following districts for reaching 1 million netTrekker page views this school year! To honor their achievement, each district will receive a plaque to commemorate this milestone.
What drives such high netTrekker usage in these districts? Districts may take different approaches to promoting netTrekker, but there are three common factors that contribute to their success: training, communication, and ongoing support and monitoring.
We received wonderful information from the netTrekker Classroom Activities Contest we ran in the September newsletter. We'll share a couple of best practices from the contest in each newsletter. If you would like to submit your classroom best practice, please do so at Contact Us.
