I often have students "search" for information and I have found it very difficult to control what they pull up with their search. With Nettrekker, the searches are already filtered for educational purposes.; ▶ Reply to This

Also we archived our searches in our portfolio and shared them with each other on the county portfolio. Chris Wallace, our instructor, showed us how to make an excellent assignment out of the links.; ▶ Reply to This

I like the idea of being able to set up web based assignments, and then have students easily access the assignments. I also like the fact that this search engine will save a great deal of time for students, and keep them on track with their assignments.; ▶ Reply to This
