  1. The Big6:Information & Technology Skills for Student Success ** Part 2 Rob Darrow Robdarrow@cusd.com

  2. A Little About Me • Clovis, CA – Central California • 20 year old daughter – in college • Educator, 32 years (Grades K-8) • Big6 user and trainer - 15 years • Principal, Clovis Online School

  3. A Little About You • Big6 Slip of paper • Your Name • What you do • Big6 Stage you have • Review of consensograms

  4. Goals for Today • Increase your knowledge of the Big6 • Plan some Big6 activities to use in the next several months • Design the plan to integrate the Big6 into your daily teaching and learning and into the fabric of your school

  5. My Thoughts • In an information rich society, you need more trained professionals • Students NEED trained teachers and professionals to guide them in how to use information – both print and digital • More critical to have trained teachers and teacher-librarians guiding students in the use of information than ever before!

  6. WARNING! Teaching information & technology skills out of context is hazardous to your students’ health. Implementation: CONTEXT!!

  7. The Big 6 - It’s all about… • The use of information • Organizing information • Sifting/Evaluating reliability of information • Producing quality information • Teaching kids how to do this so they better achieve! (More challenging in digital age)

  8. Big6 Pre-WorkshopSurvey Results – Jan 2009 • Want a consistent research method • Looking for innovative ideas • It will be beneficial for all to be using the same terminology in reference to researching • Projects listed: California Research Project, Faraway places, American colonization and Powhatan tribe

  9. Big6 Pre-WorkshopSurvey Results – Jan 2010What I want to gain from this workshop • Better understanding of how to incorporate it in second grade • Continuity across grade levels for teaching study skills • Learn more about integration into my computer class • Gain new insights • To better coordinate the 5th and 6th grade writing programs. • User friendly tools for KIDS/focus on KIDS and THEIR desire for the research • What else?

  11. What makes the Big6 work or not work? (evaluation/reflection) Reasons why the Big6 is not being used Ways the Big6 is being used Big6 Post-it activity One post-it for each idea

  12. Survey Results:How I have used the Big6 • California Research Project/ Four Regions of California group projects/ Independent Study projects • Collaborative poetry lesson with library • Miss Rumphius Research Project • Research project • Others?

  13. Survey Results:Spring Teaching Units • A lesson in the library • California research projects • Archaeology Unit • Family Tree • American Indian tribe research project • Native American research project in 3rd grade • Others?

  14. What I want to gain from this workshop • How to incorporate it in second grade • Continuity across grade levels for teaching study skills • Learn more about integration into my computer class • To better coordinate the 5th and 6th grade writing programs. • User friendly tools for KIDS/focus on KIDS and THEIR desire for the research • What else?
