Often called the "Queen of Spreadsheets" by Google, Alice is an EdTech keynote speaker, author, Google Certified Innovator, Google Apps Developer Expert, and a Microsoft Innovative Educator. She holds degrees in Mathematics and Educational Media Design and Technology, and has traveled around the world sharing her expertise in innovative teaching with Google Apps. Since 1999, Alice has been dedicated to creating student-centered classrooms through technology. Over the years, she accumulated a wealth of practical teaching resources, course templates, and insights into educational technology. She noticed that more and more educators were searching for efficient teaching tools and innovative methods to support their classrooms. <img src="../../img/article-images/d2.jpg" alt="d2.jpg" width="2172" height="1574"> Initially, Alice shared her documents and experiences sporadically through blog posts, emails, or social platforms. However, she soon realized that these methods couldn’t meet teachers’ systematic and ongoing needs for resources. Content was scattered and difficult to update, and many valuable teaching solutions got buried in the flood of information. Alice began to wonder: how could she make it easier for teachers everywhere to find and access these resources, and participate in a vibrant, innovative teaching community? With this goal in mind, Alice experimented with various website-building tools. Traditional blogs and file-sharing sites failed to provide the organized, interactive structure she envisioned. She faced challenges such as messy pages, lost documents, and high technical barriers, and at times doubted whether she could ever build her ideal teaching resource platform. Unwilling to give up, Alice reached out to her peers and the wider educator network for answers. She discovered that [Google Sites](https://sites.google.com/) is a no-code platform that integrates deeply with Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides. Excited, Alice began organizing her resources by grade, subject, and theme, embedding real-time updating Google Docs, and managing teaching data with Google Sheets. She also integrated her own developed Google Add-ons, such as Doc to Slides, TemplateTab, and Quiz Helper, greatly boosting lesson preparation and classroom efficiency. <img src="../../img/article-images/d1.jpg" alt="d1.jpg" width="3224" height="1604"> As her resources grew, the organization and aesthetics of the site became a new challenge. Alice faced confusing navigation and less-than-ideal layouts, sometimes feeling lost. But she didn’t give up. She actively joined the Google Education community, participated in CoffeeEDU, and sought advice from fellow educators. Alice learned from countless YouTube tutorials, meticulously refining details such as color schemes, menu designs, content archiving, and interactive features. She also regularly collected feedback from teachers worldwide through her Teacher Tech Facebook group and free email newsletter, constantly improving the site. After many rounds of trial and error, [alicekeeler.com](https://alicekeeler.com/) has become a trusted resource hub for teachers worldwide. Whether it’s Google Classroom tips, innovative feedback strategies, teaching templates, or digital toolkits, teachers can easily find what they need. The site integrates a wealth of Google Add-ons, helping educators boost efficiency, collaborate, and innovate together. Most importantly, it has grown into a supportive, global education community that inspires countless teachers with new ideas and confidence. Alice’s story proves that, with need, passion, the courage to try, and a willingness to seek help, even teachers without coding skills can build a high-quality education website using no-code tools. Through her own journey, she has illuminated the teaching paths of countless peers, showing everyone that technology is not a barrier, but a key anyone can use to unlock the future of education.
