School Library Learning 2.0 Week 9, Exercise 22 – eBooks & Audiobooks

I went to World EBook Fair’ Site and explored the free downloads available from the Gutenburg Project. While there, I downloaded Basil by Wilkie Collins. I’ve recently enjoyed Wilkie Collin’s other books including The Moonstone and Woman in White.My elementary school library has some books on tape and CD and the students check them out with a copy of the book.

I especially enjoyed the LibriVox: free audiobooks. While many of the works are just too old for my students, the Aesop’s Fables would work beautifully in my fairy tale & fables unit. I also discovered many of the traditional fairy tales.

I also tagged Best Places to Get Free Books - The Ultimate Guide in my delicious account for future reference.
