The Big6 Goes Primary! Teaching Information and Communications Technology Skills in the K-3 Curriculum Reviews

For educators, Jansen . . . a Big6 trainer who also works in instructional technology, details how to teach information and communications technology skills in K-3 classrooms using the Big6 problem-solving method. Each chapter addresses a component of the process and describes its use and modifications by teachers and library media specialists working with early learners. Initial chapters discuss the rationale for using it, the developmental levels of children in kindergarten through third grade, assessing progress, and collaboration. The final section presents the method in the context of content area curricula, literature appreciation, and the components of the school library. Example lesson plans show how to incorporate state standards and combine skills and content from different subjects. The CD contains worksheets, charts, posters, and other documents from the book. - Reference & Research Book News
