Big6 by the Month is our comprehensive and systematic information & technology skills instructional program.  In this webinar series, we work with you each month to plan and deliver a defined, predictable, measured, and reported information and technology literacy curriculum. 

If you missed the first webinar - it's okay! We record each one and make them available to all attendees. And, the "early bird" registration price is still good through the end of August - $113 for the entire series of 9 webinars. If you have any questions, please email us at mailto:info(at)big6(dot)com

The next webinar is scheduled for Sept 6, Thursday, at 7pm EDT, 4pm PDT. The topic is Task Definition. From research and experience, we know that Task Definition is one of the most important and difficult information problem-solving skills. Students report (in Project Information Literacy) that they have the most problems with just starting an assignment or task.  WE CAN HELP - with effective Big6 and Super3 lessons in the context of classroom-based assignments. This webinar will cover all the details!

 


The instructors for Big6 by the Month are Mike Eisenberg, Janet Murray, and Colet Bartow with support from Sue Wurster.

This is our #1 series for educators interested in developing and implementing an information and technology literacy program. Our approach is systematic and practical. Attendees gain mastery of the Big6 and Super3 information and technology skills processes AND direct experience with setting a Big6/Super3 program, linking to school, district, state, and national standards, and planning for classroom, library, or technology lab lessons and units. EVERY attendee will be able to immediately implement Big6 and Super3 instruction and establish an information and technology literacy program that is

  • defined
  • predictable
  • measured 
  • reported.
