Someone with good tech skills will especially be welcomed, as I'm a bit rusty, and plus it's more enjoyable to make pictures and courses. I'm based in the UK but I'm not fussy about having an online collaborator :)

Not saying that teacher jobs are likely to increase, just that I'm not sure they'd go away altogether, either.

Still, it adds a bit of meaning to the everyday hum-drum.
