Students also learn to appropriately cite the sources that they use. ]]> 2019-05-02 23:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/gartlnj/27nuqmmyqwrz/wish/356431819 gartlnj https://padlet.com/gartlnj/27nuqmmyqwrz/wish/356432881 Teaching Information Literacy is essential to our students as 21st century  learner.  Students need to be able to navigate technology, for example they need to be able to execute appropriate keyword searches. They need to be able to determine the validity of a website. ]]> 2019-05-02 23:56:21 UTC https://padlet.com/gartlnj/27nuqmmyqwrz/wish/356432881 gartlnj https://padlet.com/gartlnj/27nuqmmyqwrz/wish/356433898 The Big6/Super3 are not discussed in the article, but it is a method of Inquiry or Information literacy processes for students .]]> 2019-05-03 00:02:35 UTC https://padlet.com/gartlnj/27nuqmmyqwrz/wish/356433898 gartlnj https://padlet.com/gartlnj/27nuqmmyqwrz/wish/356435040 Though the Big6 is not addressed in this article, I currently use the Big6 in conjunction with the WISER method for research and use of information to answer a question or solve a problem.]]> 2019-05-03 00:09:28 UTC https://padlet.com/gartlnj/27nuqmmyqwrz/wish/356435040 gartlnj https://padlet.com/gartlnj/27nuqmmyqwrz/wish/356436068 According to the Big6 Information Literacy can be also called inquiry, research skills, or an information problem solving process.]]> 2019-05-03 00:14:39 UTC https://padlet.com/gartlnj/27nuqmmyqwrz/wish/356436068 gartlnj https://padlet.com/gartlnj/27nuqmmyqwrz/wish/356437503 Big6 says, "Big6 is the smarter solution—one that helps students develop the skills and understandings they need to find, process, and use information effectively."]]> 2019-05-03 00:22:00 UTC https://padlet.com/gartlnj/27nuqmmyqwrz/wish/356437503 gartlnj https://padlet.com/gartlnj/27nuqmmyqwrz/wish/356437966 According to the Big6 website it is:

We must teach students how to process and use the information they have extracted. The students will also demonstrate the ability to create a product which represents their learning. ]]> 2019-05-04 20:44:47 UTC https://padlet.com/gartlnj/27nuqmmyqwrz/wish/356863124 gartlnj https://padlet.com/gartlnj/27nuqmmyqwrz/wish/356863143 As a Librarian, the  Big6 and Super3 are naturally incorporated in the teaching of research and the creation of a product, which represents what they learned.  The Big6 is something I use with grades 3-5, and I use the Super3 with grades K-1.  For example this year the Kindergarten classes were doing a project on animal homes (habitats).   The students discuss the methods and resources that were available to use for this project, and selected a method.  They also discussed what research was, how they would do, and how they can present it.  As a result the students, used World Book Online to listen to information about animal homes.  They then drew a picture of their animal's home and explained the parts of it to the class.
The with grade used the Big6 to research battles and events of the Revolutionary war.  The students began by defining what was expected.  They decided what information would be necessary to incorporate for each task.  Then the students determined the sources they would use to find the information.  The students researched their topics and took notes.  The students used Google Docs to type up and organized document of the information in their own words, with a works cited page (easy bib).  Finally the class created a Google Tour using Tour Builder.  The result was an interactive presentation of the events of the Revolutionary war presented in chronological order that also showed where each event was geographically. ]]> 2019-05-04 20:45:05 UTC https://padlet.com/gartlnj/27nuqmmyqwrz/wish/356863143
