Dr. Alice Christie's website is chalk-full of great ideas and countless ways to get started on your way to becoming an technologically literate teacher! There are links, resources and examples of uses for technology on the website. The sky is the limit, but as an educator and adult in charge of a number of minors at one time, one must use caution when exploring the Internet in and out of the classroom. Dr. Alice Christie's Internet Safety Guide is one aspect I, as a teacher, would use quite often. The Internet offers students of all ages so many opportunities to reach other people all over the world through websites, cell phones, blogs, and messaging. Teachers, as well as students, must be aware of how to maneuver through this ever changing world of technology.
On her website, Dr. Christie examines the positive and negative uses for blogs, UTube, networking, etc. She helps educators find websites and blogs that are appropriate for children in Kindergarten through the 12th grade. She touches on what Cyber crime is and how to report it, and the perils and pitfalls of blogging, and social networking. Overall, I believe that technology and the knowledge and instruction for safety when using this information is vital to our childrens' future. But, we as parents and educators must be aware of the dangers out there, and how to protect our children against them.

I really enjoyed your post and agree with your comments. The band on my blog you were asking about is called the Raconteurs. They are pop/rock/garage rock. Refreshing music. If you want, a couple good songs of theirs are: Steady As She Goes, Together, Level, Consoler of the Lonely, You Don't Understand Me. Hope you like it!
