Diane, that's great. As you were describing it, I was visualizing you and the teachers setting it up and the students engaging with netTrekker. You also mentioned, "not playing games, they are doing learning activities." We've been thinking about ho…

Hi Diane--have you heard about the "Personalized Learning in Action" video contest we're running? It'd be great too see your use of netTrekker with Smart boards in Colquitt County. Here's some more information. You could win a $1500 scholarship (the…

Hey, I don't know about the FCAT but in Georgia we have a state website from GPAT (Georgia project for assistive technology) that lists all of the accommodations that are allowed on standardized testing. There are many things that can be done IF the…

Hello all...I am new to the discussion and to the Village but have used Net Trekker for a while. Colquitt County is in south Georgia and we are blessed with lots of resources for our students with disabilities--or as I like to say "other abilities".…

Jacinda, I have a learning challenged child myself. (Trying to stop saying Learning Disabled since he's able to learn, just learns at a slower pace and differently than what we call the "norm".) He loves the movies and activities as well. Just last…

I have used Movie Maker and Audacity with my OTP students at the high school level. The students took video and pictures of the school and are now narrating their movies. These tools have proven to work well in improving their literacy skills.
