Even if you don't live near an art museum, you can
enjoy art exhibits and activities through netTrekker. Many art museums both
in the United States and around the world have created wonderful (and, not
surprisingly, artistic) websites full of images, activities and even lesson
plans.

Dr.
Doug Hazlett, Associate Professor, Education Department at Thiel
College works netTrekker into an assignment with his freshman Foundations
of Education class. “I am pleased to share netTrekker with my
students because it will make them better teachers and make learning in
their classrooms more standards-based and more fun.”

Our Customers
“My
students like using the Refinement Tabs that categorize websites according
to what is found at the site. Pictures, learning exercises, or maps/charts
are tabs they use often when searching for information. As a teacher, it
is so important to be able to use a trusted search engine. Not only am I
confident that students will find sites that are age and grade  appropriate
but netTrekker d.i. provides an added bonus of having websites evaluated
by educators.”
