Turn Your Students into TrackStars

Using websites to supplement instructional content is becoming commonplace. You may taken students into the computer lab and said...

Okay class, I would like you to go to W-W-W, dot, F-I, dot, E-D-U, slash, T-F-I, slash, U-N-I-T-S, slash, E-N-E-R-G-Y, slash, W-I-N-D-G-U-I-D-E, dot, H-T-M-L.

...at this point, you may have lost control of even the best listeners in your class. Maybe you've even tried webquests with success, but found that they can be time consuming to create. There has to be a better way. TrackStar could be the solution to your problem.

TrackStar is a starting point for online lessons and activities. Simply collect Web sites, enter them into TrackStar, add notes or directions for your students, and you have an interactive, online lesson called a Track. Create your own Track or use one of the thousands already made by other educators. Search the database by subject, grade, theme, or standard for a quick and easy activity. There is a fun Track already made for each day of the year, too!
