I had no idea you could do so much with Google. I personally never use Google to search. I am a Yahoo! gal. After playing with all the cool features that Google has to offer, I know I will be visiting this site more often and conducting my searches using Google Scholar and Google Advance Search.
I create a Google Calendar for my class. I made it public so that parents can see upcoming events. Right now, all I have are the school holidays, but as the school year gets started I will be adding more information. I will include upcoming tests, open houses, and deadlines. Here is the link.

I also played around with Google Earth. It's fun to look up your address and spot your vehicle. I think it will be a great tool to show students other parts of the world and to show various landforms.
I used Picasa Web albums for my personal use. You can upload your photos and share them with friends and family.

About Me
- Clemencia S. Ramirez
- Is it possible for one person to be many things? First off, I am a wife. I married the most wonderful man in the world on January 17, 2009. His name is Victor. We are currently enjoying our time getting to know each other even more as husband and wife. I am a daughter. My parents have been happily married for 41 years. Their names are Cutberto and Esther. I am a sister. I have the most amazing pair of sisters. Their names are Maria and Minerva. I also have 3 brothers whose names are Ramiro, Cutberto, and Orlando. I am the youngest of the six! I am an aunt. I have 5 nephews and 5 nieces. I am a teacher. I teach 2nd grade and love it. I teach bilingual (Eng/Span) education, self-contained. Those kids can always make you smile! I am a student. In January 2009 I began the Masters in Library Science program at the University of Houston-Clear Lake. I am enjoying my classes very much. You wouldn't believe how much I have grown and learned in the past 6 months. Which brings me to my last "I am"... I am an aspiring librarian. I have always wanted to be one. I would like to find a job in the district that I work in now, but we shall see where God will take me!
I agree - I had no idea of all that Google offered. I think your calendar is a great idea - I'm going to do that also. You will love Goole Earth. I showed my classes some pictures the Hubble telescope took to illustrate the idea of infinity. The pictures were amazing. Have fun with it!
