Dr. Alice Christie's Educational Technology Guide.

There are many of ways in which teachers can infiltrate technology into their classrooms for both the students and teachers benefit. Dr. Christie's site has many ways for teachers K-12 to further their lessons with technology. In her website she has many different tools that her students used listed. Yo can click on them and they will give you a short description of what they are and how they are beneficial.

I looked at the Google earth site. I believe that this would be so interesting for kid when learning about underwater canyons, or what the planet earth looks like form space. It will also come in handy when researching volcanoes. While using this program you can go to Mt. Saint Helen's for example and you are right over the opening of the volcano. I think children would learn so much more when they can actually see what they are learning about rather than just trying to imagine it by what their textbooks say.

Another interesting tool was something called The digital Pencil. After reading a book the students can log onto this site. For example a picture of a lady bug will appear in the middle. The children will fill in question boxes about what they learned. Such as, what do lady bugs eat, who are their prey, and who do they fear?
