Craig Sargent and David Hillyard are two experienced classroom teachers. Both with a degree in Computer Science, and over 20 years experience teaching in comprehensive secondary schools in England.  

 

Our aim is to help you deliver outstanding computer science lessons by creating the very best resources.

Contemporary, outstanding lessons

Using our workbooks and activities

Gone are the days where it is acceptable to go through a PowerPoint of theory from the front of the class. Using our workbooks and activities to support the videos, students are engaged and learn independently from the very first minute of the lesson.

Our YouTube channel is changing

But don’t panic, we’re just adding more content!

From September we are going to be adding more content to our YouTube channel to support teachers of computer science using our resources. Students will still have access to our flipped classroom videos, but please encourage them to use our student site instead.

Student site

We have a video to teach your students the theory for EVERY bullet point of your course specification. These aren’t generic videos, these are EXACTLY matched to the requirements of the course.

 

We promote a flipped classroom pedagogy where you set the video for students to watch for homework in advance of the lesson. They then come to the lesson with the required knowledge, and you can begin activities immediately without the need for chalk and talk time!

OCR GCSE VIDEOS

 

Covering every specification point of the OCR J276 GCSE computer science specification.

OCR A’LEVEL VIDEOS

 

Covering every specification point of the OCR H046 and H446 computer science specifications.
