Today Cushla, Rory and I filmed seven lessons for The Church Strand in Years 7 - 8 with the help of Jason McTeague.

We have changed the presentation of lesson content from our initial trial completed in Term Three. We originally presented content via screen casting and have since changed this to a green screen format. The reason for this change is to increase active learning opportunities within a lesson rather than lessons being passive 'downloads' of information.
To provide more detail on the Flipped Learning pedagogy the Church Strand is using it can be summarized as:
Flipped Learning is a pedagogical approach where direct instruction and homework elements of learning are reversed. Short, “concept videos are viewed by students at home/ or in class enabling class time to be used for the application of this knowledge in projects” (Bergmann & Sams, 2014, p.7) or group discussions.
We will continue filming over the next week and as you can see we are managing to fit in some fun too!
