WEBSITES: I learned about the search engine http://www.duckduckgo.com/. This search engine doesn't "profile" you. It gives hits to sites you may not get to right away with google etc. which tend to direct you based on other sites you have visited.
I also like to use www.kidsblogs.nationalgeographic.com/dogeared. I like to see what other kids have written about books they have read. Periodically we put together a display of the books they have read, print out the remarks and put them with the books.
I use http://www.dltk-kids.com/ and http://www.preschooleducation.com/ for the preschool story time group. I find craft ideas to add to stories. Also try http://www.mothergooseprograms.org/.

I learned alot about the electronic resources during this challenge. The biggest thing: I need to practice every week on each of the resources so that I can easily manipulate the info when the time comes. I was so excited when a patron came in and asked a question that we could research in the data bases. She didn't have time that day and I am still waiting for her to come back so we can work together and find her the answers to her questions.
When someone has a question, it is acceptable to say "I'm not sure but let me find out" and then proceed to work on the problem. However, I want to be able to say "I know right where we can look" and sit down with the member right then and find their answers. It will take time and practice that I am willing to take on.
Thank you for your work on this challenge. I look forward to my continued learning!!
