Introducing SOLO taxonomy
Introducing SOLO Taxonomy
Guest speaker John Sayers joined Vital Geography Portal Manager Alan Parkinson to talk about the use of SOLO taxonomy to support students in Geography lessons. This is a way for students to visualise and explain their level of understanding. This session would also be useful for teachers of other subjects, as John shared some documents produced by students to help record their progress.
What is a Vital TeachShare?
A TeachShare is a short online session (up to an hour) using Blackboard Collaborate videoconferencing software, in which the TeachShare host leads an online discussion on a specific topic. The sessions are free to join, and no advance booking is required, you can just turn up and join in!
What equipment do I need to join a TeachShare?
All you need in terms of equipment is a computer connected to the internet, and a set of headphones (you can check that your computer meets the miminum system requirements here). A microphone is useful if you want to join the discussion, although not essential; if you do not have a microphone you can join in using text chat. No prior experience of using Blackboard Collaborate is required, although if you are a new user, we recommend you join the session 5-10 minutes early to run through the setup.
