COMP. 2- PODCAST/RSS FEED

COMPETENCY 2: I choose to connect the website, BOOKLIST, to my blog, through RSS feed so that I could be aware of the newest publications related to brain based research and learning strategies.

From the ALA site (http://wikis.ala.org/readwriteconnect/index.php/), I choose BOOKLIST, and I followed the directions and connected the RSS feed--you can read the headlines and click on the titles to the right.

I am always on the lookout for the newest research on the use of brain-based learning strategies in teaching, to incorporate into my teaching in the library and now I will see these immediately if they pop up.

I will also need to read the reviews of young adult literature in order to buy books for my high school library, as our district policy requires the citation of one positive review for each book ordered. I also appreciate BOOKLIST when it features young adult authors; I can use this information to introduce them to students when they are in the library for checkout.
