20:02:44 lizdudley@ICTEvangelist #ukedchat means I need to get outand see some teachers using this, really excitedabout the prospect of introducing it

20:02:50 saidthemacHas anyone tried #solo in music? Would be good tocompare notes. Have done part whole analysis butstill embryonic. #ukedchat

20:02:59 ICTEvangelist@dockers_hoops for those who don't know thestructure, how does it make it explicit? #ukedchat#solo

@dockers_hoops #ukedchat I agree. Whenever I

use SOLO it means progress of learning isguaranteed. Love using it so interesting

tool for planning deeper learning. Progress is easyto demonstrate. #ukedchat

yes

20:06:26 JOHNSAYERSSolo has allowed me to employ PBL in theclassroom and allow greater collaboration for students to help progress their learning #ukedchat ..

20:06:30 StuartMaginnis #ukedchat using SOLO has really helped stretchstudents. Gets them used to connecting ideas.

20:06:34 MrTomtheTeacher #ukedchat I'm intrigued, but this sounds like the newnew thing. Can someone explain a bit? #solo

20:06:48 outdooradventu1 How do we people apply this theory in heir classrooms? #ukedchat

20:06:50 lizdudley @OTP26woods #ukedchat what was the responseto it?20:07:11 SuperBad_ @MrG_ICT http://t.co/MZ2btGpA #ukedchat

20:07:12 ICTEvangelist @SwayGrantham SOLO is a way of structuringlearning that students understand simply & canreinforce deep learning & independence #ukedchat

20:07:12 LeeDonaghyI find #SOLO to be common sense, it's how I'vealways taught without knowing it had a name -what's the value in labelling it? #ukedchat

20:07:16 BioMadHatter I aim to use SOLO in tandem with flip to enable mylearners to become more independent #ukedchat

20:07:17 syded06

There is a few links in here that may help with an

explanation of SOLO #ukedchathttp://t.co/9Xuk6L8k

20:07:34 JOHNSAYERS..as they say the process is simple for them toevaluate where they are and more importantly needto go with their learning. #ukedchat

20:07:41 LeeDonaghy Is #SOLO more applicable in some subject areasthan others? #ukedchat

20:07:44 BioMadHatter i think it (SOLO) is an epic tool to show progressionand pupils understanding #ukedchat

20:07:45 TheBenHorbury#solo needs to be presented to NQTs to allow theprogression of learning, better than it being a newinitiative while school #ukedchat

20:09:21 syded06@MrG_ICT @LeeDonaghy Only used/seen SOLO acouple of times so it is still a work in progress#ukedchat

20:21:44 Cottiss77#ukedchat love the sound of #SOLO. Need to bebrave and take the first step. Getting bogged downin terminology

20:21:46 GeorgeEBlack RT @outdooradventu1: If we want to try SOLO inour classroom, where is a good example to getstarted? #ukedchat

20:21:55 LearningSpy @Mat6453 Worst that can happen is that it goeswrong. Try again. Fail better #ukedchat

20:22:03 BebbPEteachGood timing - just had both SOLO books throughtthe post. Can't wait to start exploring thepossibilities! #ukedchat http://t.co/SwiLJgYr

20:54:01 Totallywired77RT @gregtheseal: #ukedchat if you really want tosee how solo can be used look at the solo queen@arti_choke http://t.co/zRiDOvFT

20:54:02 ICTEvangelist @dockers_hoops which are? #ukedchat

20:54:05 eslweb@LearningSpy @liasjaneashes Shakespeare isgood, but I always preferred Roald Dahl's GoingSolo #ukedchat (Bad pun I know.)

20:54:11 shaun_allison @tomboulter @syded06 @LearningSpy@JamesTheo You'll see results quickly! #ukedchat

20:54:26 LearningSpy@B_Sharpie Depends - I use more regularly withsome classes. No rules but more it's used the easier it gets #ukedchat

20:55:01 ukedchat Last 5 minutes of #ukedchat. Final thoughts?

20:55:07 dockers_hoops@Lallysticks an EA question for me is 'how doeswhat 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

20:55:15 mrlockyer @dukkhaboy @ictevangelist I will have toinvestigate it further! #ukedchat

20:55:15 davidfawcett27@BioMadHatter @shaun_allison #ukedchat This isa vital component. Some students don't know whatto do to make progress. SOLO structures this

20:55:22 LearningSpy @tomboulter Me neither. I first heard of it via thelegend that is @DKMead #ukedchat

20:55:28 gregtheseal #ukedchat I would say that ever since I came across#solotaxonomy it's always in the back of my mind.Never with blooms.

20:55:28 JamesTheo@thought_weavers I've blogged about using#SOLO in English #ukedchat http://t.co/20YPKNMl& http://t.co/VnGrCx8A

20:55:30 ICTEvangelist Here's how I recently used SOLO in an ICT lesson(w/ iPads) http://t.co/XeErId8y #ukedchat

20:55:41 mrlockyer @syded06 I blame Twitter for a lot of things!#ukedchat

20:55:44 Totallywired77 @JOHNSAYERS exactly - you can do this withSOLO #ukedchat http://t.co/dwaZS5qr

20:55:55 JOHNSAYERS@ICTEvangelist highlighting perhaps multiplelessons/PBL a great linking strategy with it to allowtime to explore learning depths #ukedchat

20:56:14 CI_JenKaye@tj007 Would the ability show through in theextended abstract? - what the pupils produce#ukedchat but how wld cover staff know?

RT@ICTEvangelist: Can anyone give anyexamples of how #solo might be used in Maths?#ukedchat I'd be v interested to hear of anyexamples.

20:56:28 tj007@data_fiend I'm revamping our KS3 maths SOW. Ineed to run a series of lessons first to get to knowSOLO better #ukedchat

20:56:28 NessainBathRT @Brixtonite: Can anyone recommend a blog/sitethat explains #SOLO in a really simple way. I need adifferentiated version : ) #ukedchat


@peter8green #ukedchat Hmmm. Interesting

thought. Freedom to indepedently show their understanding. I like! I'll try this next lesson.

20:56:30 LearningSpy#Ukedchat Biggest issue with potential massadoption of SOLO as a teaching tool is teachersfocusing on HOW and failing to understand WHY

20:56:40 saidthemac @SheliBB yes, jigsaw technique would work. Thekey ingredient in solo is content knowledge #ukedchat

20:56:44 shaun_allison @gregtheseal Agreed - the simplicty of #solo makesit so effective - for students and teachers #ukedchat

20:57:58 BioMadHatter @davidfawcett27 @shaun_allison #ukedchat MUCHmore effective than "i got 17/50, a 5c... i need 19/50to progress to a 5b" #levelsaredead

20:58:01 davidfawcett27@lizdudley #ukedchat I have that somewhere. Haveyou seen @Totallywired77 poster?http://t.co/L2A6S6A4

20:58:04 oldandrewuk@saidthemac #ukedchat Obviously not. My wholepoint is that knowledge underpins thinking.
