Using netTrekker, educators can search over 300,000 digital resources, organized by grade and readability level and aligned with provincial outcomes and expectations, to find the right resources for every student, every time! Participants who attend this session will learn: 1. How incorporating digital content into their teaching and learning can engage their digitally native students in learning. 2. By using digital content, they can more easily incorporate 21st century lessons and learning skills into their core-subject lessons. 3. Attendees will learn how netTrekker can help them quickly find educationally relevant digital resources, aligned with provincial outcomes and expectations, to meet the unique learning needs of every student in their classrooms. |
