Resources
The simplest resource is a hotlist. Everybody knows what hotlists
are--big long lists of hypertext links to other places. They were one of the first
applications to hit the Internet. They were the first attempt to fight the information
overload that occurs during normal web searching. They are the net version of
library pathfinders and bibliographies, and are often called "webliographies."
Just about anybody can put up an Internet site and that's one
of the problems. The majority of sites have not been through any of the evaluative
processes to which published print materials are subject. Many hotlists are lists
of resources (links) that have been carefully assembled and evaluated by someone
who is concerned about providing access to reliable, authoritative, and current
resources. If they are obsessive and compulsive, all the better!
At the heart of every good web-based lesson or activity
is a good hotlist. Here are a few hotlists that you can use in your classroom
or library. These hotlists are intended to supplement the information provided
in the Big6TM overview or
to augment your use of the Big6TM game.
