(all LD students) we offer our students a "reading library". We have many
fiction books, as all students are required to do nightly reading, and
about 1200 books on tape. Over the course of the last couple of years we
are trying to move away from books on audio tape to books on CD, since
nobody has a cassette player anymore! We have been converting the
cassette tapes to CDs. Of course now we are starting to think about how
we can offer these books to our students that have iPods, which if it's
anything like your school, it's most of the kids! I don't know if we
should be converting these CDs to digital audio and putting them on some
kind of server for them to download, or if we should then podcast them
some way. The idea is for kids to be able to listen and read along at
home. I'm sure CD players will go the way of cassette players soon and we
want to be prepared. I would welcome any thoughts, suggestions or
experiences with this issue. Thanks.
