Creating awareness of netTrekker and training on its features contributes greatly to high and effective usage. Our team of experienced educators developed specific training programs designed to meet the needs of today’s classroom teachers. We can accommodate small or large groups meeting on-site or online with a customized agenda to meet your training goals.

Schools and districts that have invested in netTrekker Professional Development have seen a dramatic impact on usage rates. Susan Joyner, an Instructional Technology Teacher from Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, saw immediate results. “We trained media specialists and second year teachers in March, and all of the trainings were quite successful.” Before netTrekker Professional Development, Savannah-Chatham’s total number of netTrekker page views sat at 277,674.  “By March 24th we were at 432,925 total page views. We are so grateful for netTrekker’s support!” netTrekker training almost doubled Savannah-Chatham’s usage, and could help your school or district achieve the same results!

netTrekker’s Professional Development offerings include Online Courses, Webinars, On-Site Workshops and Differentiated Instruction Packages. View a comparison of these options to see which training best corresponds with your needs, or contact your netTrekker Account Manager for more information.

Tip Tuesday

Today is the last Tip Tuesday for the school year. I was personally looking forward to this one because I get to talk books and summer reading, and I LOVE books and summer reading! Wish I could get my own son to share in my passion.

However, Chris Marshall will be covering the webinar. He’s going to show how to build a folder based on books and then how to add your list one of three ways to the portfolio.

There is still time to register for the 4 PM webinar. If you missed any of the past ones, check out our archives.

Connect with Us

Connections are made when two or more people have a common thread that ties them together, and are often made at an event of some sort.

netTrekker Village has several events listed on the calendar, including both online and onsite events. At NECC this summer, we are proud to feature six special guest speakers who each will be presenting a 15- minute session in the netTrekker booth #931 on how they use netTrekker or on a special feature in netTrekker. Marci Campbell, Jill Allen and I (Danielle Abernethy) will also be presenting in the booth at NECC, so there are plenty of opportunities to make a connection and learn from other educators about how you can get more from your netTrekker subscription. We are also pleased to announce that our two scholarship winners, Ryan Evans and Teresa Diaz, along with Teryl Magee, Chad Lehman, Jill Hobson, and Tom Turner will also be presenting in our booth, sharing insights about netTrekker from an educator’s point of view.

Our Sunday Night event at NECC, which was announced on the Village, is already full. We announced this one through the Village Message System and were pleasantly surprised by the quick number of people that signed up. But don’t fret, we have more events planned! If you’re in the Ohio, Indiana or Kentucky areas, there’s a netTrekker Fest happening on August 13th that is definitely worth checking out. Check the calendar for details.

Other events are online, including free webinars. Currently we have free webinars for how to make the most of netTrekker Village and the new Customer Resoruces section of netTrekker.  More of these events will be announced, and through mid June. We will also have many other free webinars on how to use netTrekker’s My Portfolio, special guests sharing how they use netTrekker, and more!

It is important that you RSVP for any of the events you are interested in. The RSVP feature is found on the right side of the event.

So join us at an event, and connect with us!
