Ok, lets practise what we preach. I am trying to create a very short, visual presentation of what the SOLO taxonomy means to me to use in the iBook I am developing around learning and personalisation at John Monash Science School.
It is very interesting to note that the original SOLO taxonomy was entirely focussed on outcomes (hence the name) but that the teachers (mainly from the twitterverse) that I have come across, use it much more as a tool for learners, as a roadmap of what learrning looks like in a particular domain or idea at each stage of the taxonomy. Now this video is far from perfect, but I like the graphics which I find help make sense of the leap from relational to extended abstract thinking. Please feel free to critique and leave comments which are, in the words of Ron Berger, kind, specific and helpful in improving this video.
Thank you very much for this. It makes perfect sense and I especially like the visualisation of quite a complex process. I'd love to see this applied to a concrete topic (preferably for MFL... :-)).
