“A lot of times when I am training on some kind of technology integration,
it is like pulling teeth. Teachers see it as, ‘Oh gosh, this is something
extra I have to do.’ When we train with netTrekker it is truly
the opposite. When I show the famous person search or show how to connect things
to the standards, I’ll hear ‘Ooo’ go through the group. That
really feels so good because you don’t get that very often when you’re
training teachers - because they are so overwhelmed with so many other things.
When they realize, ‘Oh gosh this is going to do it. This is going to
make my life easier. And it is cool on top of that,’ they really love
it! It is great when you hear that hush go through the group and they get real
quiet. It is really exciting to hear that. Whether you have fifteen people
or you have three hundred, you hear those kinds of ‘Gasp’ moments
and it is exciting!” -- Kevin Reed
