Internet Competency

I searched on Google using the term Texas school libraries and found the website for the Texas Association of School Librarians, which is a division of the Texas Library Association.
Upon visiting the site, I found several links to useful information for school librarians plus local conferences to be attended. Texas is divided up into districts, so each district has its own conference.
I found this to be a practical site for a school librarian in that the association provides networking and training for members along with the much-needed advocacy.

Social Networking- MySpace

I found this site under MySpace. I'm still not competent in that area even though when I went to MySpace I saw that my daughter had her own email listed on it!
This group based out of Fort Worth/Dallas is an online book club for people who just like to read.
Even though my blog site is based on school librarians, I like to read and am willing to bet that most librarians like to also.

Multimedia Competency

My blog site topic is how librarians can help teachers and how to increase students' reading.
I found a flow chart created by the librarian for her junior high school in New Jersey. This would be a nice visual for students to refer to when they are in the library for research.
