    SSCC is an acronym that stands for Search, Sort, Create, and Communicate, which is a model for designing learning opportunities to help students become effective users of information. The S's refer to searching for information and sorting relevant from irrelevant information. The C's refer to creating a clear product to demonstrate learning and communicating knowledge learned to others. Effective implementation of SSCC involves accessing databases, research, graphic organizers, and creating end products like essays, artwork, presentations and publishing online to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

    Search, Sort, Create, Communicate

     
     
    Definitions
     

    SSCC is an acronym used for designing learning opportunities to help students


    become users of information. 
     

    "S" stands for searching.  Students access the specific information and develop a broad
    overview of the topic. 
     

    "S" stands for sorting.  Students classify the information in order to make connections
    and determine relevant vs. irrelevant information for their purpose.
     

    "C" stands for create.  Students use the information to create a clear product that
    organizes and demonstrates their learning.
     

    "C" stands for communicate.  Students share with the community the knowledge they
    have learned through the products they have made.  In this step students help others
    understand the connections and conclusions that they have made throughout the
    process of using the information.  Students can reflect on what they have learned
    through the process of SSCC during this step.
     
    Components:
     
    There are many components and different types of technologies (tools) that can help
    teachers create lessons for students that incorporate the SSCC model of learning and
    teaching.  They include:
     
     databases (these may be as broadly based as the internet or they may be as
    specific as an Excel spreadsheet developed by the teacher)
     Internet research
     books, encyclopedias, library research
     essays, stories, reports, artwork, writing, music, video
     speeches, presentations
     publishing/sharing student work
     graphic organizers - these can be created using MSWord applications
    or can become intricate using programs such as Inspiration
     
     
    Importance to Educational Practice:
     
    As our society continues to depend more and more on information, we as
    educators, need to make sure that our students become good users of the information
    they encounter throughout life.  To do this they must be able to search the information,
    sort the relevant information from the irrelevant, create a product using the information
    found, and communicate the connections found in the information (SSCC).  During the
    search and sort process, students need to remember the "Halo Effect" which helps
    students check information for validity and judge the source of information.  Using the
    SSCC guide develops critical thinking and problem-solving skills.  There are
    opportunities to apply the knowledge learned and use higher thinking skills through
    creating and communicating.
     
    When teachers use this model during the planning of their lessons, it ensures that
    students become users of information.  Once implemented there is communication
    between teachers and students, and it helps develop an in-depth understanding of the
    material. 
     
    Implementation Strategies and Ideas:
     
    A teacher who implements the SSCC strategy is giving his/her students the opportunity
    to become information users in all aspects of their lives.  Lessons that use authentic
    problems to implement SSCC will not only teach students the importance of gaining
    knowledge for their school lives, but also for their everyday lives.  SSCC is a great
    strategy to use when:
     
     creating database lessons
     implementing research projects
     comparing two pieces of literature in order to fill in a Venn diagram
     creating artwork, poems, or music to share content information
     sharing stories and presenting projects to the class
     publishing work online
     creating wikis
     completing webquests
     creating class blogs
     creating a class video
     creating flyers, bumper stickers, posters, etc. to disseminate
    information
