About Me

Hello Friends! I live, love, and work in Oak Ridge as an Art teacher in Oak Ridge, TN. I work at Woodland Elementary School, which is where I went to school not that long ago! It was there that I met a sweet guy named Chuck Chin...and married him years later! We now live in Oak Ridge with our fur baby, Butters! In my spare time, I work on paintings, gardening, and relaxing!

Google has everything...

Google, it turns out, has just about everything you need. When I was first introduced to what Google has to offer, I was honestly a little hesitant to switch over. I was perfectly happy with my email and my iCalendar! With a little shove from my fiance, I started to explore what Google had to offer. I didn't want to admit it, but the Google Calendar was so organized and easy to use! So, when we were required by our class to use Google Documents, I was a little more open about this new technology.
Over the last few years, whenever I wanted to send a paper to my fiance for him to read over, I always just attached it in an email. I hadn't really noticed how annoying that was until I used Google Documents. No more attachments! I'm free! I can see that in a classroom this would be some much simpler. To send documents or assignments home to my students, I can simply post it to my Google Documents page and then share with my class. This program also allows me to send a document from my home to my classroom without having to email myself or use a thumb drive.
The more I become introduced to Google, the more I just love it. In the words of my fiance "A lot of people are afraid of google taking over the world. I, personally, welcome our new overlords."
