Dr Christie

I was going through Dr. Christie's website and found very interesting topics. One is how to involve the young and older student and teacher together to learn from one another. This shows that everyone has something to contribute and you are never to old to learn something new. But the site I was most curious about is the link to web page designs. Since we have to design a website I thought that this would be most informative and I was right. There were many examples of how to start websites and create them to be target specific. She told how to add animations that would be interesting for kids. She offered links for downloads of animations that would work for web pages designed with students in mind. There were examples of good web pages, excellent web pages and not so good web pages with suggestions on how to improve the look of the pages.

Her site is a great opportunity to learn things that I could use in the classroom. A website for example is most useful to provide information about who I am and what I do as well as personal interests and classes that I teach. It would also be beneficial to show my educational background and plans for the future. By providing this information on a website I would be opening a link to parents who would otherwise never really learn about who I am. The website would be a way to draw students interests in me as a teacher and as a person, definitely an advantage in teaching.
