Dr. Alice Christie-the ed. tech guru

Dr. Alice Christie is an educational technology guru to be quite honest! She is a 40 year veteran of the educational system and offers a comprehensive website that acts as a resource for teachers who wish to use technology in the classroom. She is a Ph.D. who has 25 years of experience in the K-12 grade levels. She conducts workshops nationally on how to use technology in the classroom to enhance teaching and learning.

I particularly like the "how to create a rubric" section of her website. As a result of my experiences with another class I have become very familiar with rubrics and how useful they are in grading situations. Rubrics are used as a guide for students when they are doing any assignment. The student knows exactly what the teachers want from them because it is written down right in front of them. Dr. Christie provides links to many of the rubrics that she has used over the years so other educators can use them or just build upon them. She also has links to other teachers rubric templates and links on how to write a rubric. This is one useful tool I will be using in my own classroom.
