Week #9- #22 ebooks and audiobooks

I was surprised at what the Gutenberg Project had to offer.  I still have trouble wrapping my mind around reading books on the computer, but I’m sure the current generation of students would have no difficulty doing it.  I would like to see textbooks on line.  I think that is really the way to go.  There wouldn’t be a problem of having enough copies, or access to the information at home or school.  The only problem, of course, would be getting access to a computer.  We still have a number of students whose only computer access is  at school.  Audio books work great especially with ELL and special ed students.  We got a grant last year to purchase multiple copies of playaways for some of our core literature.
