Dr. Alice Christie


Dr. Alice Christie received her Ph.D. in Educational Technology and Language and Literacy from Arizona State University. She currently goes around the country and gives workshops about education and teaching younger students. From reading her website it seems that many people have come to honor her wisdom and love going to her conferences and workshops. I must admit after viewing the website for only a few minutes I was pretty impressed with this Professor whom I have never heard of before.
This website could be very useful for me as well as any other aspiring teachers. The website Dr. Christie is designed to give all teachers insight on how to "mold" the students into future teachers themselves. One of the nicer things on this website that I enjoyed were her podcasts that she posted. Each podcast has a different teaching cue and are very simple to follow. And with Dr. Christies open and somewhat humerous delievery, it is easy to listen too as well.
Another great application from this site is the Classes applications. Here teachers can click on a particular class an upload just about everything from Power points, syllabi's, and even tests and quizzes. This is extremely helpful and thoughtful of Dr. Christie to give these things for free. This really speaks of her character and determination to teach all people. She also puts up photos from all her workshops and from others classes which is nice for the kids who visit the website.
I would have to say that this particular website is probably the most helpful site I have been to. This site is really insightful and interesting for anyone interested in becoming a teacher. To visit this website click HERE
