OVERVIEW
Big6 and Super3 strategies will help your students learn Information,
Communications and Technology (ICT) skills in context of your
curriculum. Big6 and Super3 presenters are our own authors who have
many years of authentic, practical classroom experience using Big6 and
Super3 with students in K-16 settings. Each session will include
question and answer time for direct interaction with each presenter and
a handout packet with worksheets and further information.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2010
1:00-2:15 p.m. (EST) "Big6 Basics."
Presenter: Mike Eisenberg, Big6 Co-creator, Author, Distinguished
presenter

Big6 Skills can help your students navigate information sources to
solve problems, make decisions, or complete assignment tasks. Big6
integrates information search and use skills along with technology
tools in a systematic process to find, use, apply, and evaluate
information for specific needs and tasks. Your students will learn the
Big6 in context of real assignments, real curriculum and real needs.
Mike Eisenberg, Big6 Co-creator, presents an introduction to the Big6
Skills for 21st Century Skills learning (Grades 3-16)

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2010
2:00-3:15 p.m. (EST) "Super3 Discovery
Learning." Presenter: Laura Robinson, Super3 Author and Trainer

The Super3 is a simplified version of the Big6. Based on the original
six steps, the Super3 uses Plan-Do-Review, three core steps, to help
very young children think about what they need to do in an assignment,
how they'll do the work, and finally to reflect on their work. The
Super3 is a practical method to integrate 21st Century information
literacy standards into a primary school teaching environment. Laura
will explain the Super3 process and suggest several practical ways to
weave Super3 thinking into some familiar primary school assignments.

TUESDAY, MARCH 23, 2010
2:30-3:45 p.m. (EDT) "Use the Big6 to Achieve
Educational Standards." Presenter: Janet Murray, Big6 Author and
Trainer

Library media specialists who collaborate with classroom teachers to
target educational standards in the context of curriculum-based
research projects help their students acquire information processing
skills that contribute to lifelong learning. This webinar will
demonstrate the parallels between AASL Standards for the 21st Century
Learner, NETS (national educational technology standards) and national
academic content standards, as well as provide Big6 activities designed
to help students achieve these standards. (Grades PK-12)
