    1. Smithtown Central School District Guidelines to Research Teacher Edition

    2. What is this? It’s a new district document developed for all areas of the curriculum that has been approved by Secondary Principals and Central Office Administration. It provides an information literacy model of the various steps in the research process. It addresses plagiarism and highlights the importance of avoiding it. It offers a consistent form of research documentation. Over a year ago, Laura Seinfeld had meeting of ELA chairs and librarian to investigate how things were being done in the district as far as documentation, research papers. This led to an awareness of the importance of developing a consistent approach to documentation, the increasing tendency of students to plagiairize and discovering what might be an effective antidote. Thus, the information research model – specifically the Big6. This presentation is really an overview of some of the background on why we need this – it comes at a time when we are all feeling overwhelmed with testing and state demands but this is not an add on – it is an integral part of what we are already doing – just finding the vocabulary that is consistent.

    3. Where can I find it? The Intranet Secondary Curriculum Library Media Services Guidelines to Research

    4. Why do we need this? Information overload

    5. Why do we need this? Information quality “More than 2/3 of teens said within the last year that they use the Internet as their major resource when doing a big project for school… .” Lester, Will. “High School Students Love Net for Research,” Syracuse Post Standard, 8/21/01 (from AP) “In a study of 500 sites used by Colorado high school students to do research, only 27% of the sites were judged to be reliable for academic research!” Ebersol, Samuel. “Uses and Gratifications of the Web among Students,” Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, 6(1): September 2000. www.asusc.org/jcmc/vol6/issue1/ebersole.html.

    6. Why do we need this?

    7. Why do we need this? Empower students to be self-learners

    8. How can we meet this challenge? Help students to: be discriminating users of information use essential information & technology skills in context use a consistent approach to citing sources use the Big6 to understand that process is as important as product

    9. What is the Big6 Research Process Model? Good information leads to good decisions, to good learning and to social and economic inclusion. One who knows and one who doesn’t know are not really equal. Informed decisions make for a better life. To understand what is good information requires the capability to find, use and evaluate information effectively, that is, to be information literate.Good information leads to good decisions, to good learning and to social and economic inclusion.
