SOLO Taxonomy has been gaining a lot of support and interest over the last few weeks. If you haven't heard of it, it's a way of discussing with students the way that their understanding of a concept or a topic is developing from knowing nothing about it, to be able to see it as part of a bigger picture. It's an easier version of Bloom's and also an alternative to the nonsense that is still perpetuated by many that suggests you can 'level' a piece of work.
A lot of discussions in my Twitter stream over the last few weeks on SOLO Taxonomy.
Just been catching up with them and collating them here with a few places to go to for more information.
Philip Anderson wrote a useful post on his work with SOLO.
VITAL CPD session that I did with John Sayers is still available to be viewed here.
Teachmeet Clevedon was also a place to find out about SOLO. David Didau's presentation is available to view HERE - catch Noel Jenkins too while you're at it.
Also check out Andy Knill's MISHMASH Learning blog for some more thoughts and links.
And finally head over to John Sayers' POSTEROUS Blog to see how he's mixed SOLO up with various other things to produce an idea for developing thinking skills and problem-based learning.
The thinking about Solo culminated in a major Twitter exchange over the weekend, involving a lot of people. Kudos to John Sayers for throwing up a whole range of Google Documents fairly quickly...
They can be seen here - feel free to add your own SOLO thoughts.
Also some excellent HEXAGON GRIDS from Amy at the GEOPHYTE BLOG.
Finally, as a result of this chat, there is going to be a special SOLO Chat on Twitter on the 16th of June at 12 midday - the time was chosen to accommodate a number of colleagues overseas who are based in various time zones and this worked the best for them.
I'll remind you of it nearer the time...
A search for #geogsolo will now bring up plenty of inspiration... a good collaborative effort...
