I was a 40-something English and Film Studies teacher at an 11-18 Catholic secondary school in Yorkshire, England. I’m now a 50-something foster-carer in South Wales.
Working out how to be good at that without being bad at everything else.

Hi Anthony,
I wanted to let you know about a new educational technology tool called CreateDebate that we just launched three weeks ago. CreateDebate is a Virtual Learning Environment that allows teachers to drive discussion and critical thinking by leveraging the power of the web, and is especially effective in English classes.
You can find out more details at my blog post at http://blog.createdebate.com/2009/08/20/createdebate-in-the-classroom/
To celebrate the launch, we’re giving away a free 90-day trial to teachers who are interested in encouraging debate and discussion in their classroom. Would you be interested in getting set up with a free trial? Please email me if you’re interested.
Best Regards,
Bryan Orme
Co-founder, CreateDebate
