Right from the fist question Mr. Eisenberg answers, I'm on board! All the "new" literacies branch of of Information Literacy. Regardless of how the information is viewed or consumed, we all need to know how to use it. The key word is "information". As students learn any form of literacy, there should be a repeatable process to help them gain mastery. He states that information literacy is a information problem solving process. In an elementary school setting I love the idea of teaching them a process. The Big 6 and Super 3 are a great way to, as he mentioned, to have a common vocabulary of how to problem solve and approach learning. The more I learn about the Big 6 and Super 3, the more I want to implement it as our information literacy program. It not only helps them on finding and using information, but it also begins to teach them good study skills and habits. As my own high school boys are struggling with how to study and do good research, I see the benefits of a process like Big 6.
