Over the last few years I've had the opportunity to give something back to the teaching community by presenting in a number of venues. If you are interested in having me present at your school or organization you can contact me directly or request me through KOTESOL Teacher Trainers.

The Korean Ministry of Education manages a program titled English Program in Korea (EPIK). Similar to the well known JET program in Japan, EPIK places foreign teachers in Korean public schools at the primary and secondary level. In order to facilitate a better experience EPIK organizes a training orientation for incoming teachers at the beginning of each semester. I was an invited trainer during the summer 2007 sessions, teaching about how to use CALL to help create better public school classrooms. The text which supplemented my workshop can be found here.
-Universities
In addition to my KOTESOL presentations, I have also given workshops for teachers at a number of universities in Korea on how to easily create and manage collaborative online classrooms. Participating schools include:

- Sungkyunkwan University (Seoul, Spring and Fall 2007)
