Prospects

• netTrekker d.i. is one of the most powerful
  tools a district can invest in. Teachers
  appreciate the fact that they have a safe way to
  search the Internet for educationally relevant
  content and they use netTrekker d.i.s incredible
  tools to support student learning.  I can rest at
  ease knowing my students are protected while
  searching online.
