Our Customers
One subscriber who participated in testing netTrekker d.i.'s new features is very excited about the new saving options. "The number one greatest enhancement is the ability to designate sites or a group of sites that I want to save before I save the list. The new functionality is much more intuitive."
Student Use
The new Digital Literacy Template provides students the opportunity to evaluate online resources to enhance their Information Literacy skills. Teachers and librarians can provide the template, along with websites for students to evaluate, within the new Class folder option. The template helps students evaluate digital content by asking questions about the author of the site, the target audience, the content, etc. The student evaluation process is documented to give educators a way to assess and meet 21st Century based literacy objectives.
