I am a College Prep World History teacher at Peachtree Ridge High School in Suwanee, Georgia. I primarily teach collaborative classes and have a special class that combines World History and World Literature for kids who are struggling in both areas. I am really excited to be able to tell my students about Japan from experience because so much of their education in East Asian history and culture is lacking.

I have lived in Georgia since 2000, but I am originally from Kalamazoo, Michigan. I spent the first 16 years of my life there, then moved to Green Bay, Wisconsin for the last two years of high school. I chose the University of Georgia for college and never looked back. I have three degrees from UGA (a BA in Advertising, a BA in History, and a Master's in Social Studies Education), and I am beginning my PhD at Georgia State this summer. Thank God for online classes! While I never wanted to be a teacher, I now couldn't imagine doing anything else.

I live in Lawrenceville, Georgia with my husband Tony, who teaches 7th grade social studies. When I have time outside of school, I run, play with my pug mixes Frankie and Deano, cheer on the Georgia Bulldogs and Green Bay Packers, and attempt to play golf.

I set up a picture website for the group on Shutterfly. I chose Shutterfly because its free, is not blocked on my school network, has unlimited photo space, and does not delete photos after a certain amount of time. To log in, go to [|www.shutterfly.com]. This also has an iPhone app if you want to download it. Name: japanncta@yahoo.com Password: japan To add photos, click on the My Pictures on the toolbar at the top. Go to "New Folder" and create a folder with your name on it. You'll see one titled "Lindsey Cafarella's Photos" as an example. In your folder, you can create as many albums as you want. I'll probably separate mine into days (Day 1, Day 2, etc) and have a special folder for pictures of people. However, I took a really embarrasing amount of photos, so it'll take a little while for all of mine to be up.

Finally, a word about photos and social networking. I set these pictures to be private (meaning only those with the login information can see them). You can post anything crazy on here, and nobody else will see it. I probably don't have to say the next thing, but just in case: //I hope that you will be very discriminating when posting pictures of other people to other photo sites, blogs, and social networking sites like Facebook.// Teachers can get fired for all kinds of ridiculous stuff online these days, so if you're not sure if somebody wants it posted to sites besides Shutterfly, please ask first or just don't post it.
