Teaching with Mucktracker

We are proud that Mucktracker has been designed by educators for educators, and we believe that educational goals should shape technology, both in and out of the classroom. 

To that end, we are excited to announce that Mucktracker is rolling out our pilot program for educators and parents. Participants gain access to our software and curriculum, along with our consulting services, which include customized lessons, media literacy best practices, and guest lectures from journalists, media scholars, and technologists.
