Learning Resources

In addition to those great resources listed above, the Deer Park Schools also subscribe to a few other online tools to make your time on the "screen-time" more productive. The first resource is a great educational search engine called netTrekker d.i..

netTrekker d.i. is an award-winning search engine focused on bringing the best of the web to K-12 students, teachers, librarians, and parents. netTrekker d.i. connects you to more than 180,000 hand-selected, educator-approved sites - organized by readability level and aligned with state standards, providing resources ideal for every student's learning needs with safe, reliable results. Rather than starting your research with the millions upon millions of useless resources polluting the web, use netTrekker to help narrow your search to useful and safe web resources.

Codie Award

In 2007, the Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA) recognized netTrekker with a "CODiE Award," as the "Best Education Solution" - the best educational technology product available for educators and students. netTrekker earned its fifth Codie award in five years during the 22nd annual awards presentation.

In addition we have access to the massive art repository available at Clipart.com; with more than 6,000,000 clipart images, photos, illustrations, animations, fonts and sounds, you'll never run out of ways to use Clipart.com content. You can use a simple keyword or category search, and you can also refine your search using filters. They can save you tons of time finding the perfect image fast!
