Dr. Christie's Impact

As a future teacher I found Alice Christie's website very insightful. There are a number of topics that are covered on her site. For my future profession as a physical education teacher I found a few topics that I felt were relevant. The first was articles and podcasts, which I feel are great ways to quickly learn about current trends and subjects. These particular sources are great when a teacher is taking a break or has a moment during their planning period.
Dr. Christie has taken a constructivism approach to teaching which I identify with. My approach to teaching has its core in constructivism. My philosophy is that we learn by doing. This is especially true in physical education. Another topic of relevance to me on this site is Dr. Christie’s web searches and researching. It’s a very good guide to using the web properly in obtaining information for professional work.
The next topic that I found very interesting was virtual field trips. This is a great way for me to allow my students to experience new subject matter in an inexpensive way. The opportunity to expose students to some things that they otherwise would never have is great. This site allows you to do that. There is a small fee involved, but it seems to be worth it and your students will appreciate it hopefully.
The last section that I really found interesting was the one for online publications. There were a number of different topics to choose from. Under each of the topics there is a vast amount of other information and links to more articles. Not every teacher will find information under publications, but this website can offer at least one thing to all teachers. This site is put together very well.
