How did you hear about us and a few words why you want to join EBB:

At the Global Education Conference - listened to the presentation.
I would love to work with you - very inspiring! - but since I have been doing volunteer work throughout my life I can't really afford to volunteer - ironic as that is. Unless I can figure out a way to cover my living costs...i've ticked the areas I am familiar with...or prefer to work in. Just in case!
I am at present working as a consultant for a distributed learning centre in: curriculum develop. digital media, evaluation, mentor teaching, research, teaching and workshop facilitation.
