Hola! I am a Spanish teacher with Dallas Independent School District. I speak 5 languages and have traveled to over 50 countries. Growing up in rural Oklahoma, I identified a need for global experiences and founded two nonprofits Happy World Foundation Inc. & World Experiences Foundation that promote global citizenship education and citizen-to-citizen diplomacy in schools and communities in Oklahoma, Texas and abroad. Here is a link to a TED talk I gave on global citizenship: https://goo.gl/EyuBfF My facebook profile : www.fb.com/speakerakash Instagram / Snapchat / Twitter : speakerakash NOTE: For those who wish to couch surf with me in Dallas, If you give me advance notice, I may pick you up from the airport. Good hygiene is a must for staying with me. I work M-F 8 am - 6 pm. I can show you around my city in the evenings.
Currently, I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Oklahoma. I completed my PhD in Learning Design and Technology at Purdue University, USA. Prior to that, I taught English at BRAC University. I also worked as a Fulbright Scholar at Indiana University, Bloomington, USA from August 2015 to May 2016. Previously, I worked for Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP) and Independent University of Bangladesh (IUB). My specific research interests are technological integration into teaching, educational leadership and educational management. I am also a writer and chess player. I wrote and edited five books, wrote around 15 plays for television and I achieved international rating in chess.
