6 steps (source: Big 6 website)

#1 - what's the problem?

#2 - where will I get the information? (ie. what's my source?)

#3 - open the source & locate the information you need

#4 - read or listen, etc.; take out the info you need

#5 - figure out how to put all of the information you need together

#6 - critique your work

a simplified form of the Big 6 for younger students

purpose (source: Big 6 website)

the process is to help combat information overload (something I personally really struggle with - I need to read all the things; so my computer and phone have multiple tabs open of things I want to read, but I never manage to get to)

basically it's be intentional (work smarter, not harder)

start with the Big 3 - with non-digital information as well; have S start with a plan and then reflect on their work afterwards (ties nicely with the NEPF)

pitfalls (source: Commonsense media article)

freemnn — 2024-10-28 05:59:08 UTC

There is a lot of information online; not all is credible

other pitfalls (source: Commonsense media article)

freemnn — 2024-10-28 05:59:41 UTC

information can be from unreliable sources, incomplete, or an advertisement

critical thinking (source: Commonsense media article)

freemnn — 2024-10-28 06:05:55 UTC

students should be on the lookout for digitally altered photos (getting a lot harder with AI)

searches can be too general

students can realize that people have biases or questionable motives (ie. the creator of the Tide pod challenge)

it's not just about reading & writing; it's about processing information in all of its forms (digital, etc.)

provides common vocabulary for thinking about needed skills

Start using the terminology (print the posters so I can reference them)
