Dr. Christie

Dr.AliceChristie received her Ph.D. in Educational Technology and Language and Literacy from Arizona State. For twenty-five years she taught in a K-12 schools. She conducts workshops nationally and internationally. She also goes around and speaks. She did Research on gender differences in uses of technology, scaffolding teachers as they integrate technology in their classrooms, and the use of electronic portfolios for assessment. Dr. Christie is a very interesting woman.
The instant messaging site was very interesting. She had a list of slang terms that she had put up on the site. She also had LeetSpeak which has an IM guide for parents and teachers. Finally, she listed all these IM abbreviations to better understand what is being said. Having this site allows parents and teachers to have a better understanding of the slang terms that kids are using today.
Another site that caught my eye was Dr. Christie's Internet Safety Guide. It offers effective ways for teachers to browse through tools on the internet. Also, it allows kids to become aware of the dangers on the internet. This was a very interesting site.
Dr. Christie's site is very helpful. It has great information on it. The is very useful and will be when I am a teacher. I look forward to using it one day.
