Would it be possible for me to PM you with some specific DoDEA questions?

For months now I have been lurking on the very useful parts of TES, the English website for UK teachers, pulling out bits of useful intel as it becomes available. In an effort to leave no stone unturned, does any one know of an International Teaching board/site related to the colonial cousins?

I suppose there isn't one this useful as US Education is not truly a national endeavour, varying state to state.

I really appreciate the input. VPN, DVDs, Apple ID and clothing sorted. Will stop off in Duty Free. Any thing else?

Please, for those with experience in the UAE, what do you wish you had brought when you moved to Dubai/UAE?
