Google's Literacy Project
Posted by Ingrid Thomson | 12 Feb, 2009From the Official Google Africa Press Release announcing that the Literacy Project resource was now available in French as well....
“The Literacy Project” is an online resource for teachers, literacy organisations and anyone interested in reading promotion and education. In addition to the existing English, German and Spanish versions, the Literacy site is now available in four languages . And two years down the line, we are happy to see that hundreds of organizations have signed up to our Literacy Map, created Literacy related blogs, search literacy related Books and Journals, and contributed to the recently created Literacy forum.- Books: find and search within books about literacy, reading promotion, and education, as well as classic children’s and adult literature.
- Academic Texts: search for literacy-related content in peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles.
- Literacy videos: See what literacy organisations, schools, and educators around the world are doing to promote literacy—or share your own project with the world.
- Book blogs: Share your knowledge and ideas about literacy and reading with the world by creating a "blog" - short articles and stories that you write for others to read.
- Book clubs and groups: Discover forums on literacy projects and ideas, start your own debate, or join in The Literacy Project forum.
- Literacy Map: From Kenya to Bangladesh, Canada to Mexico. Find literacy organisations around the world, and search project and contact information.
- Custom Literacy Search: Do targeted searches within literacy and education organisations’ websites.
