Dr. Alice A. Christie, a President Professor Emeritus at Arizona State University. She also earned a Ph. D. in Educational Technology and Language and Literacy from Arizona State. Dr. Christie travels nationally and internationally speaking and conducting workshops on "how technology can enhance teaching and learning." Her website is designed to assist educators with the integration of technology in their classrooms. The site consists of sections with instructions on how to teach searching the web, web design, as well as a gallery of Dr. Christies' photos and her publications. The section that caught my interest was Educational Technology which aids teachers instructing K - 12. Before going any further, you are asked to view Dr. Christie's video "We Are All Co-Learners".
This video presents insight on how productive Dr. Christie's classes are. Her combination of interns, students (usually middle school), and teachers together in a class, is a brilliant idea, whereas the outcome is beneficial to all involved. I was really impressed with the fact that the students work closely with the teachers teaching them what they have learned.
The Educational Technology page, provided resources, optional links, and examples on topics such as, Discovering Art in a Web 2.0 World, Educational Portals, Emerging Technologies, Internet Safety, Multimedia, and Podcasting, just to name a few.
As a future educator, this is another useful site providing resourceful information useful in many technological ways. When needing assistance with technology in the classroom, not only will this site be of use to me, but also to my students.
