If you have done work internationally, where and in what capacity?

I was part of an exchange program that included the task of being a chaperone and educator for 15 students that went to China last spring. We spent 2 weeks in Beijing, Nanning, and Shanghai. One full week was spent at the Guangxi Mechanical and Electrical Industry School where I taught technology and English classes.

If you are willing to volunteer, in what area(s):

curriculum development, digital media, technology support, workshop facilitation

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

I heard about you through my previous trip to China, and through my wife, who has also joined and is interested in teaching abroad. The trip to China helped fuel the fire in me to provide students with a more challenging, meaningful education that instills in them the desire to learn throughout their lifetime.
