| What is the difference between Renzulli Learning and netTrekker? We had this response from a representative of Renzulli :
"NetTrekker is an excellent “Search Engine.” It provides a substantial database, high-level of safety and very effective search options for students and their parents. One can find a great deal of valuable information using NetTrekker.
"As our name suggests, Renzulli is a “Learning System.” Searching is only one part of our offering, which is why we designate our "searching" option as a Differentiation Engine - encompassing a child's Learning Profile as a key search criteria, so that each child sees results that match his or her interest areas, learning styles, and expression styles -- as well as by grade and ability. Renzulli doesn't just give students a sea of resources and say, "Go!" We individually match those resources to a child's individual preferences. Renzulli Learning "knows your child."
"In addition, the Renzulli Family Edition is a tool for parents as well as kids. Through their own portal, parents can oversee their child's explorations, create their own assignments and projects, push favorite activities, and review work. Renzulli also provides a number of project templates, designed by our staff of university professors and doctoral candidates to encourage interactive learning with real-world application.
"Finally, Renzulli Learning is research-based. It is the embodiment of over 30-years and $30-million in research grants and school-tested programs, which demonstrate increased student achievement. It is based on the thesis that children learn more when they approach subjects from their base of interest, invoke their preferred learning style, and produce product based on their preferred expression style. Renzulli helps students and parents make all that happen."
