(If a student respects the teacher - I find they follow the rules a bit more.) Therefore, netTrekker is a blessing. <BR/><BR/>Now if you have a tech savvy school, one that has tech leaders for teachers who are willing to learn new things, use them in the classroom, and the teachers stay on the up and up so the students have to as well, then you of course don't need the netTrekker product. You can save your money for other cool things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3510962890868704212.post-79026777335381483622007-06-01T07:34:00.000-05:002007-06-01T07:34:00.000-05:00Yet another Dembo site that I'm not following, and...Yet another Dembo site that I'm not following, and here I was thinking that I was staying on top of all his blogs :)<BR/><BR/>Oh well, great info on the KartOO site, I'll have to check it out.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you on the educational uses of Net Trekker, however, I completely disagree with the entire "pay for use" search engines. I think it's much more appropriate to teach learners how to use search engines effectively, and responsibily, rather than rely on what some censor has deemed kid-friendly. Not that I don't enjoy some censorship, it can be a great thing, but there are so many more fantastic resources found via real search engines, that search services like Net Trekker leave a bad taste in my mouth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
