I am glad to read that now, learning concepts are changing due to the teachers active participation in the online activities. I have found that teachers are more interested in making students learn rather than telling them how to do an assignment perfectly? Whether it is debating or arguing, I think you are lucky enough to engage your students in arguing as well as debating. Let them first speak their minds and then try to teach them the difference between arguing and debating. Hello,

I hadn't seen that one before and it doesn't have dodgy or inappropriate debate topics in its Gallery sections. It still is probably an overly sophisticated tool for my primary school students, I think. Thanks for that link, Graham.

(http://debategraph.org/Default.aspx) Seems to be a similar idea to what you are trying to do. Have you had a look at Debategraph? (http://debategraph.org/Default.aspx)
