Class Two of What in the 'World Wide Web'?

ACTIVITY TWO:

Exploring Nettrekker and United Streaming

Hotlists and webguides are terrific ways to give students large numbers of links at one time. They eliminate needless search time. Have you ever gone to the internet to look for a recipe and ended up three hours later buying a car? While that may be the extreme, we have all gotten lost in the web. Your students do as well. Webguides, hotlists and Nettrekker will allow you to limit your students to sites you have examined to ensure they get the information you intended.

Nettrekker is a subscription software available to all Knox County School teachers and students.
