My name is Cheryl Burris, and it would appear I am the only out-of-towner.  I live in Whispering Pines, NC (a village next to Pinehurst).  It is as quiet as the name implies and I love it.  Although I live in golf country, I have no clue how to play the game.  I do, however, drive a mean golf cart, which is the preferred mode of travel here.

As for my experience, I have been an elementary school teacher in NC who preferred the 5^th & 6^th graders due to their independence and budding humor.  I also taught in Alaska for a federal program called STARBASE Alaska where I taught space and aviation science to 3^rd through 12^th graders.  It was very interesting and a bit of a culture shock when we went to some of the remote areas to teach.  Finally, I taught a military intelligence course when I was in the Army.

I am currently a Sunday school teacher and am assisting my pastor with our church going digital.  We have a lot of retired people who are unable to attend but are very handy with technology at times, military stationed around the world, and working families who are unable to attend the various Bible studies conducted on Wednesday night.  Going digital is my way trying to reach out to the community.

I am a slow adopter for the social media and am not really familiar with the Web 2.0 stuff – that is what lead me to this class.  However, I am really interested now and hope not to experience too many challenges or steep learning curves.
