Re: Share Dewey I also enjoyed watching the story about him this past Sunday Morning on CBS. It was an informative story about the town and Dewey. This book is on my shelf of "To Be Read" when I finish required school reading for the year.

These books need to be a fiction book with below a 2.9 ATOS level and not worth more than 1 point. As you can see we are an AR school. I want to be able to find things that they actually will be interested in reading instead of lower elementary interest level books. I have several sets of books but they need more variety. How do you handle this in your school? How much money do you spend on these kinds of books? Thanks in advance for your great help!

Obviously the jury's still out on the best, most = cost-effective, copyright-good method: *I want to know anything you find out. My IT guy (who is usually the = paragon of copyright ethics) told me to take my library CD's of To Kill a = Mockingbird, Secret Life of Bees and other titles that need to be shared = by resource students, and upload them to iTunes. Once they're in iTunes, they can be downloaded to a student's mp3. That = can't be legal? *I you have an education account with Audible.com you can load a book on up to three platforms (ipod, computer, etc) at any one time. I works wonderfully. I can have three copies of the same book checked out at the same time. *We have our kids bring in their public library cards and download titles for free from the public library. There is a limit of 8 concurrent downloads per title, tho. For classroom use, we use a jackbox with an MP3 player, and up to 4 kids can listen simultaneously with headphones. For larger groups, we connect a set of old computer speakers to the MP3 player so an entire class can listen. *Audible is a complicated option. You can only download to three = machines, so if you are circulating 10, it's tough to keep track. It also = needs to be converted to the correct format for many machines. I like = their selection but not the limitations. *How much do you pay for an MP3 player? How much time does it take to download, catalog, and package the audio book? I find the Playaways worth the $30-40 as the other alternative is very time intensive. Just my IMHO *Have you checked into www.netlibrary.com? It's a service that enables = users to "check out" and download audiobooks in MP3 format for 3 weeks. = They seem to have mainly Recorded Books materials. I signed up for an = account through my local library - so they're free. I somehow think they = are now taking accounts directly from the public. So, this would be a way = for each student to sign up for an account and download a book for = themselves. After 3 weeks, the file no longer plays. =20 Some down-sides: they have a limited selection of titles - about 250 in = the children's section. They also have a YA section. The files come = accross as one title, so I have to remember my place and scroll through if = I've listened to music in between. They are not compatible with iPods, = because of the software they use. good luck! *My professor in Children's Lit downloads books from itunes for his = ishuffles=20 he loans out. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
