Top 3 learnings
If you haven’t tried a virtual excursion yet, it’s time to try it! Whether your class is studying science, history, art, literature, music or any other unit of learning there is likely a subject matter expert that can bring specialised knowledge & demonstrations to your students.
Read ‘Flip your classroom’ by Jonathan Bergmann and Aaron Sams and try implementing a flipped classroom in your school. Through teachers creating a lesson via video for students to later view at their own time, students will have the time to reflect more deeply about the lesson content and therefore have deeper conversations and understanding in the classroom
Once you’ve tried connecting with remote schools and content providers, try using Nepris to link your students with people who are working in a variety of occupations. It’s all about connecting students to industry through conferencing technology!
