Big 6/Super 3

10/18/10 Lisa: I'm here in the Technology lab. You are right, I was able to fix prioritize (it was missing an "i" at one point). I hope to wrap this up today and load for final viewing. We'll take care of final submissions tomorrow. June

June: Yes, I did scream, but when I checked the ppt. it is spelled correctly- I looked it up P-R-I-O-R-I-T-I-Z-E. Maybe one of us saw it early on and fixed it??? I've checked the spelling three times. Make sure you are using the Big6June_Lisa.ppt version- there are too many versions floating around on this wiki! Talk to you soon. Lisa

Lisa: As we discussed in our daily phone call(s), we are going with the more general presentation idea--the HOW to do the Big6, rather than a specific topic. I am going to work on the voiceover and the animations for the slides today. You will want to scream, but I noticed that PRIORITIZE was spelled wrong! Would you mind fixing that at some point. I TRIED, but I could not do it! June

Lisa: It is coming together! I'm anxious to talk this morning at 11:00AM! June

Lisa: Big6 ppt. Draft 4

http://www.big6.com/category/big6-resources/testing/ **New resource added at the bottom of the page** (Abilock, 2007). Posted info. on the Storyboard pg. and cited the source on this page.

I think there is a slideshare on this site that supports studies with regard to an increase in student achievement.

Lisa: Check out this Website: http://nb.wsd.wednet.edu/big6/big6_resources.htm

Big6/Super3

 * **Know** || **Want to Learn** || **Learn** || **Further Questions** ||  ||
 * There are 6 steps- to teach children information literacy skills : [Identify problem-plan action-locate &access resouces- evaluate value of the info collected- share new knowledge- reflect on the inquiry process]   identified by Milam (2004) as a Problem-Solving Model  || How to implement this in real world? || help teachers--collaborate || Which "model" do teachers really prefer--regardless of grade level? ||
 * promotes social relationships through collaboration concrete steps--very appealing, defined || How do we move teachers from traditional teaching practice to allowing students to direct their own learning? How can teacher-librarians support classroom teachers in making the leap from teacher directed to student-directed inquiry? What is the balance between the two approaches? || process takes time and active involvement from all parties || How does Inquiry-based teaching affect student outcomes? See resource: http://www.big6.com/category/about-big6/action-research/ ||
 * *encourages children to ask questions notions of "location and access" are built-in to the inquiry process || How is the Super3 related to the Big6 What is the Super 3????? || Super3 is the Big6 simplified for students in grades K-2 (Plan-Do- Review) Okay. I've spent some time with Super 3. I really like conceiving of a project that way. I, personally, don't think it's all that juvenile; it's actually more CLEAR and easier to remember than the 6... I would use this with UNDERGRADUATES!

When I Googled this, I read: "The Super3 is the early childhood version of The Big6 Skills." Okay... (Google Results Page). ||  || I love this! This seems to obvious, but you nailed it here. ||  || Addresses National Library __Standard 1__: The student who is information literate accesses information efficiently and effectively. || Wow! That seems to be a heck of a standard! I'm in my gazillionth year of graduate work and I STILL don't think I have mastered this one. || __Standard 2__: The student who is information literate evaluates information critically and competently. || Again! Wow, my undergraduates can barely do this... || ow can students be more responsible for the time management WITHOUT micro-managing them? || Works Cited
 * *encourages children to initiate action to find answers. || How do the Big6/ Super3 align with other inquiry models such as UBD or IB? I think Big 6 and UBD are very close. || teacher/ librarian must be flexible and demonstrate adaptability Both Big 6 and UBD ask essentially the same questions of the learner: UBD, backward design: Identify desired results; determine acceptable evidence; plan learning experiences (Wiggins and McTighe). ||  ||
 * *helps young children develop research skills and, shows that research is, indeed, a process! || How do we teach students how to find, synthesize, use and evaluate the information they find? || teacher/ librarian needs to closely monitor on-task behaviors and continually interact with small groups or individual students ||  ||
 * *children must be active participants in learning process
 * *supports life-long learning skills Big 6 is really "common sense" to people who have conducted any sort of research. It is transferable to multiple situations in school and in life. ||  || Addresses National Library
 * ||  || Addresses National Library __Standard 3:__ The student who is information literate uses information accurately and creatively. || You mean copying and pasting is not good enough!? How do we get students to move beyond copying and pasting? ||
 * ||  || Evidence of learning includes: demonstrating independence, self-motivation, productive time management, and flexibility || H
