Dr Christie's Site (Google Earth)

A picture of a lake with the woods behind the lake.
Dr Alice Christie is a very passionate and dedicated instructor. You can tell by her site that she is not only interested in educating her students. But also making sure that teachers have to information they need to be effective in the classroom. I enjoyed looking over the Google Earth information and learning new techniques to use and finding out how to improve my own Google page.

She was very clear and to the point with her tutorial and did not loose me with a lot of technical jargon. Sweet and simple just how I like it. I am new to Google so sometimes the unknown can make anyone shy away from something, but the more I use Google the more I like what it has to offer and the easy navigation will be great for my students learning their way around the Internet for the first time.

Google is fun and makes sharing information effortless. The fact I can go to a site and use all the typical documents that I have to open more that on page for in Microsoft word is awesome. Of course Google has its flaws as with any program, but for general use in the classroom and accessibility to students I will have to give it and A.

The information is quick and accessible and the the fact that the information can be changed is a thing of the past. New regulations require that all info be submitted to a review board before it can be submitted onto the Wikip edia database. I think this will cut down on a lot of the unreliable information that was so readily available and keep the site from losing any more credibility. Wikipedia

See You Later

You only say good bye to people you never plan to see again, this is more like see you later. I do not like the word Good bye it sounds so permanent. I do like to think that somewhere down the road of life our paths will meet again and we will remember the time we had on Thursdays in EDM310. I wish you all happy futures and prosperous lives.

Teachers teaching Teachers

I really enjoyed this podcast. The dialect between the the speakers flowed, the information was clear and useful. What better way for a teacher to enhance their learning skills than from learning from each other and receiving feedback in the classroom. It is easier to relate to someone who knows what you are going through on a daily basis and can encourage you and guide you to being a better teacher. We are all different and have vital information to share to help one another. Teachers give to their students everyday and sometimes it is feels good to get back what you put in. Quality of voice sound could have been better
