Education consultant and founder of Bon Education, I work with leading organizations around the world on projects and products that promote the use of technology to improve education quality, infrastructure and collaborations. Current and past projects include work on the development and promotion of Curriki, FreeReading, PocketKnowledge and SchoolNet.com.

I have hosted numerous workshops around the US on how to incorporate technology tools into the classroom and I am author of the blog Literacy is Priceless. I hold an MA in Comparative and International Education from Columbia University, Teachers College and I am former English teacher (ECC Foreign Language Institute, Osaka, Japan).

I am passionate about literacy and the use of open source technologies in the classroom. In addition, I love to read, run and travel.

Happy to be a part of Classroom 2.0 from the UAE,
Anna

Anna, My significant other is an RN investigating a traveling nurse program which allows nurses to accept contracts all over the world. I wonder if you know of a similar program for teachers.

Sure there are tons of places to go to teach overseas. One of my sons interviewed to teach in Qatar--- and lots of people here are Americans teaching abroad. Search for teaching abroad.
