During the My Portfolio Modules of netTrekker’s online course, participants share many great external websites that they add to My Portfolio folders to help differentiate instruction.

Bob Cochenour, a Technology Coordinator, from Branch, Arkansas gets Biggest User points for sharing his enthusiasm for the Xtranormal text to speech animation product. Bob says, “This product is very cool! As a previous English/social studies teacher who always made the kids stand up and report, I saw this tool as a neat transition piece for those shy or less willing students.”

Visit http://www.xtranormal.com/ to see how to use drag and drop animation with automated lip-synch and International voices to help students produce simple video productions.

The Add Website feature in the My Portfolio menu allows users to add websites that are not netTrekker resources to your folder. If you find a useful website which is not listed in netTrekker, you can add it to your folder simply by copying its URL and entering a title into the Add Website dialog box. Click to view the Add a Website video tutorial.

If you would like to recommend a website to be added to netTrekker, please consider submitting it through the Resource Round-Up form, located under Events on netTrekker Village.
