Is Your netTrekker Authenticated?

The best way to get someone to do something is by making it as easy as you can and removing as many obstacles as possible.  So, wouldn’t it be nice if your students and staff could get into netTrekker from school without having to log in?  Well, it’s likely they can.

Many of netTrekker’s subscribing school districts choose to access netTrekker through IP Authentication.  This means that when students and staff go to netTrekker from a school computer, it automatically takes them into netTrekker without having to enter a username or password.  In fact, most of netTrekker’s districts with the highest usage access netTrekker in this manner, which you can imagine accounts for a certain amount of their success. 

There are certain limitations regarding who can use this method, but if your entire district subscribes and you have a static IP range, you should look into it.

If you’re school or district uses IP authentication, feel free to leave a comment and let others know if you feel this is something useful to pursue.
