Big6 suggests six(!) steps to best problem solve a search (or three for younger students)]]> 2019-02-04 05:03:04 UTC https://padlet.com/vanvost/zqbwamvmq1nc/wish/327163519 Eisenberg vanvost https://padlet.com/vanvost/zqbwamvmq1nc/wish/327163527 An umbrella term for all types of media: print, audio, video, virtual reality, live interview.]]> 2019-02-04 05:03:12 UTC https://padlet.com/vanvost/zqbwamvmq1nc/wish/327163527 Eisenberg vanvost https://padlet.com/vanvost/zqbwamvmq1nc/wish/327163563 Reading and writing have long been necessary for communicating with others. Not only is the world more global - yielding a greater amount of information than would have been available to previous generations - but the information is being shared in more ways. Being able to process and produce 21st century media is the only way to remain relevant. ]]> 2019-02-04 05:03:40 UTC https://padlet.com/vanvost/zqbwamvmq1nc/wish/327163563 Big6 vanvost https://padlet.com/vanvost/zqbwamvmq1nc/wish/327163581 This is a method for accomplishing a media search that results in credible information. There are concrete steps that optimize the process.

3.1 Locate sources (intellectually and physically)
3.2 Find information within sources
4. Use of Information
4.1 Engage (e.g., read, hear, view, touch)
4.2 Extract relevant information
5. Synthesis
5.1 Organize from multiple sources

By addressing the traps that they are likely to encounter, we can lead students to more success in the short-term goals of immediate classroom assignments and in the ultimate goal of more sophisticated reasoning.]]> 2019-02-04 05:04:03 UTC https://padlet.com/vanvost/zqbwamvmq1nc/wish/327163597 Big6 vanvost https://padlet.com/vanvost/zqbwamvmq1nc/wish/327163602 An anchor chart of Big6 procedure will be a worthwhile guide in the classroom. It can be introduced through modeling a search with the class.
From there, include thebig6.org link in relevant assignments. Perhaps even include a meta-analysis in the assignment: have students complete an outline identifying how they used the Big6.]]> 2019-02-04 05:04:06 UTC https://padlet.com/vanvost/zqbwamvmq1nc/wish/327163602
