netTrekker is excited to introduce this week’s Spotlight User. Jan Williams is the Educational Technology Coordinator for Youngstown City School District in Youngstown, Ohio. Jan shares how teachers have enjoyed exploring netTrekker through integration with other technology and professional development.

This is the first year we have had netTrekker in our schools. It has been a huge hit among our teachers, and we have had many workshops to roll out the training for the teachers. Everyone loves the efficient way to drill down the results according to readability and the other options. The opportunity for differentiation is phenomenal and easy to use. Since we have many teachers using Promethean Boards, they love that they can search for flipcharts in netTrekker and be sure they are good ones!

We have asked the district to provide the money to renew the subscription for next year due to the high use and high satisfaction. There are currently 5 people taking the nT 101 online course right now, so each of those folks will become our next netTrekker trainers in their buildings and in the district.

Hi Jan,
Thanks for your great post. I have really enjoyed working with you and the Youngstown team. You guys are doing a super job implementing netTrekker. I look forward to the “explosion” of usage as teachers come back motivated in August. You are an awesome catalyst!
