#22 Audiobooks

I seemed to have hit the wall for the 23 Things class. I am totally exhausted. It is 8 p.m. and I am still at school and I am attempting to finish my 23 Things class and everything it due tomorrow. Now, I know how my students feel. On top of that the Audio books thing seems to dislike me. For one thing, I don't have library card for the Fort Collins Public Library so I was unable to access the Net Library. So, I turned instead to the Open Culture forum for audiobooks. There was quite an impressive list of books that could be downloaded as Mp3's or as podcasts. I chose to listen a version of Homer's Odyssey as offered up by Librivox. As I listened, I immediately thought about the uses of this tool. My first thought went to my students who are being served by our Special Education department and how they might benefit from this tool. I used to teach Classical Humanties and I thought how a student who was struggling with the text of the poem and how they might benefit from listening while reading along with the audiobook. I also thought about how I would love to listen to books while travelling. This is going to be a tool that is used by this woman.
