Dr Christie has put a lot of helpful information available to anyone willing to learn, and her site covers almost everything she has accumulated over her long 40 year teaching career. From classes to workshops, Dr. Christie covers it all. I specifically like the fact that she posted reliable sites for children to search with. This sites filter out bad imagery and content that should not be seen by children. Also, her workshops cover a vast majority of topics to help teachers utilize the information available to them via the web.
Another part of her site that I enjoyed was the information regarding geocahing and GPS. These two things have become highly popular over the past few years, really changing the game hide and seek. However, I appreciate this due to the fact that last year the teacher that I worked under incorporated GPS in her PE classroom, to have the children run around and exercise without them really knowing it. It was an excellent way to incorporate technology in the PE classroom.
Apart from that, Dr Christie, focuses on constantly educating yourself to make yourself and the classroom better. This way the children are positively influenced to constantly strive to continue their education, and use "fun, technological advances that we may not have had.
