Initial Proposal: The Goals for the RE Dept Introduce a range of small ‘flipped learning’
strategies that engage students and empower ownership of learning
Less time delivering ‘content’ and more time on facilitating independent thinking and analysis
![Page 4: Loreto 5 Jo Kachel 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5556582cd8b42aa41e8b5098/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
By exploring a range of small, incremental ‘flipped’ strategies rather than one ‘big’ project:Easy to useIncrementalNon-critical (if the ICT fails, it isn’t a big problem)Incorporating feedback from staff and studentsSuccessful (so people want to use them again)
Initial Proposal: The Goals for the RE Dept

Create video/ screencasting HSC resources
Create videos using YouTube, TED lectures Wikis with Year 9 Medieval Christianity unit
But new priorities and ideas kept emerging …
Initial Proposal: Some initial ideas included …
![Page 6: Loreto 5 Jo Kachel 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5556582cd8b42aa41e8b5098/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
“But new priorities and ideas kept emerging …”
Going with flow …
In other words - What did I actuallyend up working on?
![Page 7: Loreto 5 Jo Kachel 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5556582cd8b42aa41e8b5098/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Based on Tim’s analysis of HSC results for Loreto SOR, we need to work on multiple choice
Multiple choice is 20% of the SOR HSC examExtended responses: typically 10-15% above state
averageMultiple choice: typically 2-8% above state average
How could we improve multiple choice skills and results? – Could Quia help?
Going with the flow: How to improve multiple choice?
![Page 8: Loreto 5 Jo Kachel 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5556582cd8b42aa41e8b5098/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Going with the flow: Quia for HSC learning and revision
Quia is an on-line resource that allows students to complete quizzes (multiple choice, mix and match etc) and receive immediate feedback.
It tracks results for the teacher:by studentby classby question
Therefore it increases teacher knowledge of student progress

Going with the flow: Quia for HSC learning and revision

Going with the flow: Quia for HSC learning and revision
We now have 16 HSC/Trial HSC sets of multiple choice questions for Year 12 aloneStudents can access these from home or in study
lessons - at any time - to revise and practice actual HSC questions
This was excellent revision for students at the END of the course (eg before the Trials and the HSC)
![Page 12: Loreto 5 Jo Kachel 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5556582cd8b42aa41e8b5098/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Going with the flow: Quia for HSC learning and revision
However Quia isn’t just about revision
I am finding Quia works really well as a teaching and learning tool as we cover new content and identify areas for further discussion and review
![Page 13: Loreto 5 Jo Kachel 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5556582cd8b42aa41e8b5098/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Going with the flow: Quia for HSC learning and revision
We have 18 ‘topic quizzes’ for Year 12 Based on past HSC/Trial questions, they
provide revision on a particular syllabus area In class or at home – reviewing content As individuals or as a class group Feedback from Quia leads to targeted
discussion – looking at questions that a number of students have got wrong
![Page 14: Loreto 5 Jo Kachel 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5556582cd8b42aa41e8b5098/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Going with the flow: Quia for HSC learning and revision
Targeted discussion – looking at questions that a number of students have got wrong
For example, a 5 minute Quia quiz on religious dialogue highlighted confusion about ecumenism and whether or not it had the goal of ‘unification’
We then discussed this point as a class to clarify understanding
![Page 15: Loreto 5 Jo Kachel 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5556582cd8b42aa41e8b5098/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Going with the flow: Quia for HSC learning and revision

Going with the flow: Student use of Quia
How did the HSC students of 2013 utilise Quia?
What did they think of it?
![Page 17: Loreto 5 Jo Kachel 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5556582cd8b42aa41e8b5098/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Going with the flow: Student use of Quia
The Year 12s accessed Quia over 900 times The usage of Quia varied somewhat across
classes, depending on the approach of the teacher, but there were keen users from every classYes, some students hardly used QuiaOthers made great use of the resource
○ The 2013 winner is ….. with 259 correct questions!
![Page 18: Loreto 5 Jo Kachel 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5556582cd8b42aa41e8b5098/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Going with the flow: Student feedback on Quia
How did the students find the quizzes?
Truthfully, of the 21 who volunteered comments at the end of the course in SurveyMonkey, only one mentioned Quia, but she did say that …
“The quizzes were fantastic, especially when we were given a specific deadline.”
![Page 19: Loreto 5 Jo Kachel 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5556582cd8b42aa41e8b5098/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Going with the flow: Quia – analysing results
The findings of 2nd SOR assessment task (which included 5 multiple choice questions):
27 students had practiced at least 2 Quia quizzes in own revision time. Average mark 4.4/5 (25/27 received 4 or 5)44% received 5/5
88 had NOT practiced Quia quizzes in their own timeAverage mark 3.5/5 (almost 1 mark lower)17% received 5/5
![Page 20: Loreto 5 Jo Kachel 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5556582cd8b42aa41e8b5098/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Going with the flow: Quia and the Department
The RE Dept has also used Quia for Year 9 Assessment task (Bible skills)Year 9 revision for Ethics task (mix and match,
definitions, multiple choice)Leaving class workAssessing comprehension of a pdf / readingStudents writing own quiz questions
Tara has also used Quia in Year 8 Integrated and there are plans to include Quia in the Year 7 and Year 8 ‘class’ tasks for next year.

Going with the flow: Evaluating Quia
Has Quia been ….Easy to use? Incremental? Non-critical? Incorporating feedback from staff and students? Successful?
Importantly, much of the work for senior students will continue to be of benefit in future years.

Going with the flow: Creating videos and on-line tutorials
In Term 2-3, I focused upon creating ‘flipped learning’ resources that students can access at home.
After experimenting with Screencastomatic and SmartBoard, I chose to use a mix of pdfs and PowerPoints with voice-over
This had the benefit of much smaller file sizes, allowing the ‘tutorials’ to be stored on the portal and accessed easily
![Page 24: Loreto 5 Jo Kachel 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5556582cd8b42aa41e8b5098/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Going with the flow: Evaluating on-line tutorials
How do we best use these resources? In 2013, it was optional post-trial revision
the resources weren’t yet created when the units were studied
However in 2014 I’d like to explore using tutorials as a home/class ‘flipped’ learning activity –Students to watch / think about / prepare at homeWrite response in class (asking questions, seeking
feedback)
![Page 28: Loreto 5 Jo Kachel 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5556582cd8b42aa41e8b5098/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Going with the flow: Moving beyond the Portal
My current goal is to explore ‘better’ ways of storing course content. While I currently use the portal with my classes,
it doesn’t have the ability to link documents etc. to specific syllabus dot points. Options include:OneNote (Stefania)Wikispace (Ros)Googledocs (Elsa)My Page on portal (Bernadette)Edublogs (Martin)

Benefits of Loreto5New skills and Great Colleagues
Colleagues – the big bonus of being part of Loreto5An extremely valuable aspect of being in Loreto5We worked together and shared our ideas and our
difficultiesOften, new ideas or strategies emerged from the
other Loreto5 teachersHearing about what other faculties were doing was
motivatingHaving time to meet during the school day was
invaluable - often we continued the discussion into lunch

A Final Evaluation of Loreto5 My Loreto5 experience has been interesting and thought-provoking It has provided me (on behalf of my department) with the time and
space to explore new ideas It has encouraged me to try new teaching and learning strategies,
and to share my results with peers It has been really encouraging to see other teachers appreciating
the Loreto5 work, and to start incorporating some of the ideas and strategies in their teaching. It has been particularly satisfying to see that this isn’t just taking place among the more ‘ICT-savvy’ RE Staff
It has been great to see students engage with some of the strategies and express interest in the new ideas (eg Quia and Padlet). It has helped to create new energy and enthusiasm within the classroom
I look forward to re-using resources in future years There are still many ideas that I ran out of time to explore – but I feel
inspired to keep working upon my pedagogy and on integrating ICT to create more dynamic and rich learning experiences

Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of Loreto5 in
2013
