Dr. Alice Christie

Picture of Dr. Christie and students
Dr. Alice Christie's website is used by her to share what she has learned about teaching over her career. It is a great resource for teahcers to see how an experienced educator has learned from changing technology, and how new teachers can incorporate that into their classrooms. Her website has several sections which provide teachers with advice on how to use technology in the classroom. She has a collection of different resources that they can use, and she even has a section dedicated to her photography over the years.

One of the pages that I liked best was the one about using GPS in the classroom. Dr. Christie uses this page to eductate teachers about how you can incorporate GPS into your lesson to teach students in an exciting an informative way. One such teacher planned a project for her students to research and plan a vacation for their families to national parks. The students researched the parks and integrated GPS into their projects. This is a fun and educational tool for both teahers and students.
