Alice Cooper

Alice Cooper has 40 years of experience being an educator. She created this site to help teachers and let them see her ideas she has come up with in her experiences. She gives numerous ideas to teachers on how to use technology in the classroom. She gives workshops and seminars to help teach the teachers. She also teaches classes as a college. One of her ideas she has come up with is Constructivism. She beleives technology should be used to facilitate learning, not the be the focus of the learning. She beleives students should learn by doing things within a specific context. Learning is reflective and incorporates feedback from the teachers. She believes that students as well as teachers learn from their mistakes.

Another part of her website gives information about Digitial Media and Photography Resource. This is a cool part of her website. She gives ideas and help to teachers who wants to incorporate digital cameras, camcorders, iMovies, podcasts, or digital photos into the classroom environment. This part of the site would be very helpful for up and coming teachers who want to use technology in the classroom. It gives them ideas on how to introduce it into the classroom.
