 Standards
Search
netTrekker d.i. partners with Academic Benchmarks, a market-leading company
that specializes in academic standards resource alignment. Working together,
we developed a comprehensive, state of the art alignment process that utilizes
human review and sophisticated proprietary automation techniques, allowing us
to deliver true standards-based resources that support your state or provincial
standards to the benchmark/learning outcome level.
netTrekker d.i. provides easy access to Standards for all states, Alberta,
British Columbia, and Ontario. Your default state or province is the one you
selected when you registered as a netTrekker d.i. user. However, you may access
the standards for any state or province as well by clicking on the state or
province name at the bottom of the Standards page.
Standards Search
Here's how to perform a Standards Search:
- Access Standards
Click on the Standards tab on the top of any netTrekker d.i.
page. netTrekker d.i. will display a new page that provides the standards
for your state or province.
-
Subject Search or Keyword Search
You can perform either a Subject Search
by drilling down through your
standards, or perform a Keyword Search
from the top. Your search will result in a list of grade-, subject-,
and detail-specific standards to choose from. Click on a detail-specific
standard to view all the particulars. Content will include numerous web
resources in netTrekker d.i. which explore different aspects of the standard.
Getting a Search Result
From the detail-specific standard, click on one of the "Web Resources in
netTrekker d.i." keywords to immediately view a Search Results page.
This Search Result page lists the links to websites which
most closely match the keywords you selected. Each website listed has been
rated and briefly described by an educator.
- User Defined Keyword Search
Below the Web Resources in netTrekker d.i. for any standard is
the "User Defined Keyword" box. This is another method of finding
web resources for a standard. You may think of additional keywords not
listed under Web Resources. If so, use this box provided to generate a
Cross Curricular Search
page.
- Viewing a Website
Click one of the links on the Search Result page to go to that website.
Note that the site opens in a different window so that you can keep the
netTrekker d.i. Search Result page available.
If your Standards Search resulted in more than one page of Search
Results, use the page number links or "next >"
and "< previous" links at the bottom of the
Search Results page to move from page to page.
Other Standards Features
In addition to selecting the Standards button at the top of
any netTrekker d.i. page, netTrekker d.i. has also provided a way to access
standards through a Search Results page.
This Standards button appears on each Search Results page. When clicked,
this button will produce a list of your state's or province's standards,
whether elementary, middle or high, that correspond to your search.
