Dr. Christie

Dr. Alice Christie's website seems to be an extremely useful resource for incorporating different kinds of technology in the classroom. The website is designed to share some of the insight of Dr. Chrstie's over 40 years of experience in education. On the site you can choose from photography to searching the web and from web design to GPS and Geocaching.

I chose to look into the GPS and Geocaching portion of her website. She states that here in the 21st century, we as educators are obligated to keep up with current technology. We should push our students to use these emerging technologies, such as GPS, and we should teach them practical was to apply these technologies in their lives. I think that it was a very informative website and I really liked her approach to education. http://www.alicechristie.org/geocaching/index.html

technology is changing so quickly. everything that we see emerging is going to be in full force when these children are grown adults. we are obligated as future teachers to educate ourselves throughout our careers to help these students learn what they will be dealing with.
