Memo to our Principal

Dear Mr. Magoo:

This memo is to request that our teachers have access to use of the web site Trailfire.com here at our school. Trailfire will allow us as teachers to control the flow of web sites that our students visit. Teachers create an account and string together a series of web sites that contribute to their content or desired topic. Students follow this "hike through the internet." They cover the topic the we teachers intend with helpful pre-chosen sites. This is a very safe way for us to use the Internet in our classrooms. I would like to request that you allow me to present a demo for you, and possibly test this tool with a small group of students for your observation. Should you wish to use TrailFire in our school, I would love to help by presenting this tool to our teachers in an instructional session.

Thank you for your consideration,
Mrs. Beth Jacobs.
