Many level descriptors/ladders have a wealth of info & students struggle to self classify where they are. Solo is a simple method #ukedchat @dockers_hoops #ukedchat I agree.

yes Solo has allowed me to employ PBL in the classroom and allow greater collaboration for students to help progress their learning #ukedchat .. #ukedchat using SOLO has really helped stretch students. Gets them used to connecting ideas. #ukedchat I'm intrigued, but this sounds like the new new thing. Can someone explain a bit? #solo How do we people apply this theory in heir classrooms? #ukedchat @OTP26woods #ukedchat what was the response to it? @MrG_ICT http://t.co/MZ2btGpA #ukedchat @SwayGrantham SOLO is a way of structuring learning that students understand simply & can reinforce deep learning & independence #ukedchat I find #SOLO to be common sense, it's how I've always taught without knowing it had a name what's the value in labelling it? #ukedchat I aim to use SOLO in tandem with flip to enable my learners to become more independent #ukedchat There is a few links in here that may help with an explanation of SOLO #ukedchat http://t.co/9Xuk6L8k ..as they say the process is simple for them to evaluate where they are and more importantly need to go with their learning. #ukedchat Is #SOLO more applicable in some subject areas than others? #ukedchat i think it (SOLO) is an epic tool to show progression and pupils understanding #ukedchat #solo needs to be presented to NQTs to allow the progression of learning, better than it being a new initiative while school #ukedchat RT @JOHNSAYERS: Many level descriptors/ladders have a wealth of info & students struggle to self classify where they are.

hexagons. @MrG_ICT @LeeDonaghy Only used/seen SOLO a couple of times so it is still a work in progress #ukedchat However, if you want to get into a more process orientated criteria which is task specific...

Thanks to so many for great links to SOLO.

Topic reminder:- how can we spread the benefits of SOLO taxonomy further than the people who are currently using it? #ukedchat @totallywired77 #ukedchat I bet most of them already know. Kids often have the best bullshit detectors. @johnsayers This sounds great. Do you have access to any examples/links etc? #ukedchat @BioMadHatter sounds interesting.

@ICTEvangelist like the idea of it. It reminds me of something I learned at uni, but I can't put my finger on it #ukedchat #learningtheories Solo lessons allow teacher to hand learning over rather than chalk and talk technique. Get students thinking,discussing,evaluating #ukedchat where's the recent surge of interest in SOLO come from? How come I never heard of it before twitter? #ukedchat Interested in finding out about SOLO - any primary examples? #ukedchat @Kathrinedavies @shelibb can you tell us more about #SOLO in Primary? #ukedchat #primaryedchat @Blenkaz Cool!

Calling all primary innovators - exciting job opp :) http://t.co/4Lq3SAZO http://t.co/07XzSwbH DM me for details. #ukedchat @Totallywired77 used extended abstract a lot where students apply their learning to other examples creating their own case studies #ukedchat @CI_JenKaye #ukedchat More about acquiring knowledge, developing it, seeing links and then taking the learning further. @tomboulter Production of mountains of hexagons? #ukedchat RT @dockers_hoops: One of the key parts of my #SOLO toolkit is a range of killer questions which help the pupils to progress through the lesson #ukedchat @shaun_allison @tomboulter @LearningSpy @JamesTheo there is definitely real skill required to set tasks/questions appropriately #ukedchat RT @TheBenHorbury: @dockers_hoops same here, ofsted want students making progress #solo allows for this with each stage & it's independently led!! #ukedchat #ukedchat are there any good blogs on #solo - any links most appreciated ... Ten minutes left of #ukedchat - we've covered primary / solo stations / terminology / ways forward why shouldn't I use SOLO? #ukedchat @BioMadHatter @ICTEvangelist a display to explain the different levels and a list of the verbs to write objectives @arti_choke #ukedchat @tj007 just thinking that if people say it shows progress you would need to move through the stages in a session? #ukedchat @saidthemac @shelibb But better! Trigger verb can sit at 1 level of SOLO but can be demonstrated at each SOLO level! #ukedchat @shaun_allison #ukedchat Dont forget how good it is for feeding forward!

RT @davidfawcett27: #ukedchat In terms of spreading SOLO, invite people into lessons to see the power of it. Get SLT to see. Monitor impact & progress. #ukedchat if you really want to see how solo can be used look at the solo queen @arti_choke http://t.co/zRiDOvFT @tj007 @mat6453 could do - I often get students up to relational in lessons then EA is their home learning task #ukedchat @LGolton @dockers_hoops @data_fiend with increase of 'longer' answers also #solo lends itself to this #ukedchat #ukedchat should teachers avoid any input in the extended abstract to promote real understanding and independent amongst learners @tomboulter cons:SOLO is very structured.Its 1 way of learning.like anything we shouldn't ditch our other methods just for this 1 #ukedchat @thought_weavers There are some SOLO blogs in here http://t.co/aFLe3D5R #ukedchat RT @Totallywired77: @tj007 @mat6453 could do - I often get students up to relational in lessons then EA is their home learning task #ukedchat @SheliBB Yes a bit in music but under the bonnet so to speak to plan questions. Working out how to/if it wd translate to practical #ukedchat @eslweb thanks for that. Just what I needed. #ukedchat #ukedchat someone had a great poster of an iceberg for solo the other day, that would be good to have on display. RT @thought_weavers: #ukedchat are there any good blogs on #solo - any links most appreciated ... @dockers_hoops Can you give one or two examples? #ukedchat I find it tough going to get up to Extended Abstract in a lesson. Great idea to set it as hw though! #ukedchat @Totallywired77 @Mat6453 @tj007 it shows progress you need 2move through the stages in a session? #ukedchat so how do u record ability?

@saidthemac of course (blooms). But techniques like jigsawing could be used alongside solo, for connection making couldn't it? #ukedchat English teachers: interested in using SOLO? http://t.co/5Z3mwCYZ #ukedchat #shamelessselfpromotion @Totallywired77 @tj007 makes sense, new to it all though so guess won't know till I try, just feeling my way into it #ukedchat Biggest strength. You know where ALL students are at and inform planning to develop progression + more importantly kids know! #ukedchat @LGolton @LearningSpy @bellaale #ukedchat Have a look here http://t.co/kzuCbYPH Worked so well! #ukedchat is there a danger that #solo ends up being simplified by some to mean using hexagons? @tomboulter @shaun_allison @LearningSpy @JamesTheo I'm definitely going backwards #ukedchat RT @lizdudley: #ukedchat someone had a great poster of an iceberg for solo the other day, that would be good to have on display. @Mat6453 It could depending on the topic and deepness of learning - I'd have to plan a lesson using it to see how the stages go #ukedchat RT @LearningSpy: English teachers: interested in using SOLO? http://t.co/5Z3mwCYZ #ukedchat #shamelessselfpromotion RT @gregtheseal: #ukedchat if you really want to see how solo can be used look at the solo queen @arti_choke http://t.co/zRiDOvFT @dockers_hoops which are? #ukedchat @LearningSpy @liasjaneashes Shakespeare is good, but I always preferred Roald Dahl's Going Solo #ukedchat (Bad pun I know.) @tomboulter @syded06 @LearningSpy @JamesTheo You'll see results quickly! #ukedchat @B_Sharpie Depends - I use more regularly with some classes. No rules but more it's used the easier it gets #ukedchat Last 5 minutes of #ukedchat. Final thoughts?

@Lallysticks an EA question for me is 'how does what you've learned today relate to...?' see @LearningSpy and question squares #ukedchat @CI_JenKaye Would the ability show through in the extended abstract? - what the pupils produce #ukedchat @dukkhaboy @ictevangelist I will have to investigate it further! #ukedchat @BioMadHatter @shaun_allison #ukedchat This is a vital component. Some students don't know what to do to make progress. SOLO structures this @tomboulter Me neither. I first heard of it via the legend that is @DKMead #ukedchat #ukedchat I would say that ever since I came across #solotaxonomy it's always in the back of my mind. Never with blooms. @thought_weavers I've blogged about using #SOLO in English #ukedchat http://t.co/20YPKNMl & http://t.co/VnGrCx8A Here's how I recently used SOLO in an ICT lesson (w/ iPads) http://t.co/XeErId8y #ukedchat @syded06 I blame Twitter for a lot of things! #ukedchat @JOHNSAYERS exactly - you can do this with SOLO #ukedchat http://t.co/dwaZS5qr RT @davidfawcett27: @BioMadHatter @shaun_allison #ukedchat This is a vital component. Some students don't know what to do to make progress. SOLO structures this @ICTEvangelist highlighting perhaps multiple lessons/PBL a great linking strategy with it to allow time to explore learning depths #ukedchat @tj007 Would the ability show through in the extended abstract? - what the pupils produce #ukedchat but how wld cover staff know? RT@ICTEvangelist: Can anyone give any examples of how #solo might be used in Maths? #ukedchat I'd be v interested to hear of any examples. @data_fiend I'm revamping our KS3 maths SOW. I need to run a series of lessons first to get to know SOLO better #ukedchat

RT @Brixtonite: Can anyone recommend a blog/site that explains #SOLO in a really simple way. I need a differentiated version : ) #ukedchat @peter8green #ukedchat Hmmm. Interesting thought. Freedom to indepedently show their understanding. I like! I'll try this next lesson. #Ukedchat Biggest issue with potential mass adoption of SOLO as a teaching tool is teachers focusing on HOW and failing to understand WHY RT @jonsmcest: RT@ICTEvangelist: Can anyone give any examples of how #solo might be used in Maths? #ukedchat I'd be v interested to hear of any examples. @SheliBB yes, jigsaw technique would work.
