Thing 8

I used netTrekker with my Gt pullout kids last semester when they were conducting their research on the iPads and using Educreations.  netTrekker was easy to use and even my first graders were comfortable using it  I talked to my kids about not everything on the internet is true and even showed them just searching for a topic brings up interesting "facts" about their living thing they were researching.  Net Trekker is trustworthy source who has checked their findings so all the facts are accurate.  I wasn't aware of the option to save their searches and research findings, which would be very good to know and use next year.  NetTrekker would eb great to incorporate in the classroom because it's a resource the kids nor i have to worry about checking or double checking the validity of their information.  It would make the research process run more smoothly.
