This academic year I’m setting up an educational technology consultancy business. Called edte.ch, it will focus on using free and easily available hardware and software to provide pedagogically-sound 21st-century learning solutions for teachers and learners. I’ll specifically be promoting Open Source products and I’ll be building and putting into practice the work I’m doing on digital literacy for my Ed.D.
I’ll be remaining in my full-time teaching position at least for the next academic year with the intention to keep at least one foot in the classroom even when and if the business takes off. I don’t want to be in the position where I’m suggesting things I haven’t at least experimented with myself.
The next academic year will be spent blogging about developments on educational technology - edte.ch’s taking over from edtechroundup.com - working on case studies with schools, and attending (and possibly presenting at) conferences and shows like BETT.
Although I had the option of moving everyone (c.170 people) who had subscribed to the RSS feed from edtechroundup.com to edte.ch automatically, I want it to be a positive choice - for them to opt-in. If you’d like to subscribe to the new RSS feed, I have added the links for your convenience below. The ‘feed of all my feeds’ has been updated to add edte.ch and remove edtechroundup.com:
There is an option to subscribe to updates via email on the edte.ch website. I’d be interested in any feedback or thoughts readers of this blog (c.700 subscribers) have! I’ll be working in the Midlands predominantly if you’re interested in getting me into your school…

Sounds like a great idea mate, I wish you every success in your new venture, I hope it proves a great success for you. When you expand into a corporate guru I’ll be asking for a job.
