Dr. Alice Christie is an experienced educator of 40 years. Her site is designed to help all present and future educators better develop and present educational technology in the classroom. Dr. Christie's homepage is very basic and easy to navigate through. On her site, you will find topics like: 1)Workshops, 2)GPS and Geocaching, 3)Google Earth, 4)Searching the Web, and 5)Web design, etc.
I looked through different parts of her site, but web design was interesting and informative to me because I don't know anything about web design. Each topic has a basic homepage with a brief summary of what you can find under that specific category. So under the topic web design, she explains to her readers that they could find web design resources, tutorials on how to create one along with examples. And there's also rubrics that would help guide you when creating a site.
Then Dr. Christie gives informative links to help teach you how to be successful at web designing. She discusses the principles and the tool kits for web designing. As well as how to edit pictures and the how to and when for implementing tables. She developed her own rubrics guide and broke it down into 2 parts, depending on what or who the site is for. And she post tips for web publishing, links that discusses copyright issues, and links for multimedia resources to discuss things like photography, cameras, and podcasting.
So I believe Dr. Christie's site would be helpful to me as a teacher because I don't have any experience with web designing. She basically uses her site as a teaching guide for educators by using a step-by-step means of explaining to those of us who aren't proficient with technology and using it in an educational manner. Each section of her site is easy to follow which I also think is very important for beginning teachers, like myself.
