Educational Support Systems, a third party research firm, recently completed an unbiased in-depth review and evaluation of netTrekker and summarized their conclusions regarding netTrekker’s value to teachers and students.

Purpose of Report

• Provides the research basis for netTrekker’s user interface and selection of the content.

• Suggests research-based strategies for using netTrekker in schools in ways that will maximize the probability of producing measurable improvement in student learning.

• Educators will be able to use this report as a research reference when preparing No Child Left Behind (NCLB) proposals and plans that incorporate the use of netTrekker as an instructional and learning resource.

  The No Child Left Behind Act mandates that all electronic learning resources (ELRs) purchased by school districts be designed with a scientific research basis. The rationale is that NCLB assumes that research-based and evaluated programs will have a higher probability of increasing student academic achievement. This means that educators must have access to research-based ELRs in order to justify the use of NCLB funding for their purchase.

• Learn how netTrekker can be used with No Child Left Behind funds.
