Cincinnati, Ohio, January 29, 2009 – The leading educational search

and expectations for nine additional Canadian provinces and territories,

netTrekker d.i.’s safe and valuable digital resources
are custom designed to help every child learn. netTrekker
d.i offers fast and easy access to more than 300,000 educator-selected
digital resources and has recently added over 4,000 new Canadian-specific

planning. Using netTrekker d.i., educators can
identify a particular outcome and expectation and then easily
find a supporting resource to use with their students.
Louis Riel School Division, one of the largest in Manitoba with
over 14,000 students, recently adopted netTrekker d.i. Now
used by over 400 schools in twelve provinces and territories, netTrekker
d.i. serves 122,000 Canadian students.
