Dr. Alice Christie is a retired teacher who had taught for over 25 years. She has conducted research on gender differences in the uses of technology, scaffolding teachers as they integrate technology in their classrooms, and the use of electronic portfolios for assessment. She has created a website that could help someone apply these topics in their classrooms. Dr. Christie often gives many lectures or speaks at different conferences, on this webpage you are able to find information as to how you can attend or just get more information about the different events. Her webpage offers lots of information as to how to incorporate technology into your classroom and lesson plans. On her webpage she also shows you how to set-up a web page for your classroom and all other types of technology tools that you can use in your classroom such as how to do podcasts, instant messaging, and some work from her favorite hobby, which is photography. This can help you in your classroom with possibly connecting with other classrooms that are across the country and possibly across the world. This would be good for the students to understand how there are different people in the world yet we all have the same goal in the classroom, which is to get a good education and get ahead in the world.
I tunes University
I tunes university is very helpful to any student, not only college students. It seems from the label it would only be useful to a college students, but in fact it is available for students from kindergarten all the way to the university level. This site allows you to find a specific school and even a specific teacher if needed be, from that point after pod casts will be pulled up that will have different topics that you can listen to and will help you with your studies or anything you need to know for that class. You can also find out information about the university or school itself, such as where it is located, the school social life, athletics, and the faculty. To be able to use I tunes university you must set up an account with I tunes which only requires your email address and a password that you will need to remember. From that point you will be able to access I tunes and I tunes University. With the creation of I tunes University, students are able to use many different types of media to help them with their education.
Duke University
Duke University is among many schools that are using I phones and I pods to connect with the
students that attend their University. There is a Duke application for the I phone and I pod that is
actually run by students who attend Stanford University. This app has many different things that
you are able to do. For instance if you were interested in attending the university and wanted to know
more about the school, you can have the option of reading about the campus life-such as fun activites
going on around campus, classes offered, and an exact location as to where the classes are located.
This application is also good for a student who is attending the university currently, they can find information
such as professor's email adresses and phone numbers, what is on the menu for any meal in the cafeteria,
and even updates on athletics. The fact that there is a specific option to be linked with athletics is ideal
for those die hard Duke fans. This app will let you know of all times and locations to all games that will be played.
This goes for any sport not just one specific sport. This will also let you know the standings as to where
Duke lays and other statistics dealing with athletics at Duke University. I think more Universities should
do this because it will help with their recruitment of students to their university and help put the students who are
already attending.
