Competency #9: Internet
I found the following website related to my topic: The Literacy Project
The link for this site : http://www.google.com/literacy/booksearch.html
The search engine use: Google
Description & Rationale:
I chose this site because it is an excellent resource for anyone interested in promoting literacy. This site provides the end-user guidance when searching for information regarding literacy promotion. It gives key words on how to use Google Book Search for searching books on this topic as well as the following topics related to literacy: scholarly articles, literacy videos, innovative projects, a literacy map, books and literacy blogs, book clubs and groups, and literacy search. I am looking forward to exploring this site further.

Competency #8: Research Visual/Multimedia
I chose the image entitled: “What is Balanced Literacy?”
Description & Rationale for Choice:
This image is good for a school librarian to understand the whole picture of what a child’s literacy should be. Each area is important, and the librarian can partner with the teachers to help promote literacy for students. The areas on the chart where the librarian can play a role and partner with the teachers would be the following: the “Read Aloud/Modeled Reading,” “Shared Reading,” “Interactive Reading,” “Guided Reading,” and “Independent Reading.”

Competency #7: Image
I chose this image because it shows young kids enjoying a book together. I located this image through Google through an image search. This picture made me smile because you have a group of young boys enjoying a book. It is important for librarians, teachers, and parents to do all that they can to foster a love for reading. Reading fun books and in groups is one way to do that.
