Net Trekker is an incredible resource for K-12 teachers. First of all, every website is researched and approved by teachers. You can refine (filter) your searches by readability levels, subject, languages and other criteria. This will reduce the number of sites in your search results. As much as I love Google, they don’t offer these options. There are a lot of features in net Trekker but I want to direct your attention to two that you will find very useful. The first is read aloud. Click the “open read aloud” button located beneath the high school tab. This will place a bar at the bottom of the window. Simply select some text in your website and Mike, Lauren or Crystal will read it you. Personally, I’m partial to Crystal. You can even choose from five speeds that it is read to you. Your English language learners will benefit from this tremendously.
