Dr. Christie's Website


After exploring Dr. Alice Christie's Website I found many things that would be helpful to me as a teacher. The part I found most interesting and helpful was the information about Virtual Fieldtrips. Dr. Christie gives a "webinar," which you have to pay to see (which I did not do)about taking virtual field trips. She suggests taking virtual field trips because of all of the budget cuts that have taken place lately.

Virtual Field Trips are a great idea because as a teacher, you can take your class almost anywhere. You could take a field trip to outer space or travel back in time without ever leaving your classroom. In my opinion this is almost better than Mrs. Frizzle's Magic Schoolbus! Another great thing about Virtual Field Trips is that they are budget friendly. Virtual Field trips can save schools, teachers, and students lots of money. Another plus of Virtual Field Trips is that teachers can take their classrooms to places that noramlly a classroom would not be allowed, such as a factory, or other dangerous place.
