Big 6 conference
We are going to use Big6 and the LiLI databases in our lesson plans to get students away from the cut and paste mentality. To promote more meaningful research techniques, and help us identify areas of weakness in our students understanding and in our teaching approach. This approach will help in all types of lessons and activities.
