When you originally register as a netTrekker SEARCH user, you are automatically registered with a Student role. To change your role to Teacher, you will need to get the Teacher Code from your school or district netTrekker SEARCH administrator. Once you acquire your Teacher Code, simply go to Profile in the My Account toolbox, type the Teacher Code in the Teacher Code area, and click Submit. Instructions can also be found in Step 3 of User Registration: Teacher.
Having teacher rights allows you to save searches communally among netTrekker SEARCH users in your school and district, and to create classes - just a few of the features in My Portfolio.
