I wasn't there . . . so if this isn't what was discussed I
apologize. We've had great luck (esp. at the upper level) with
Lit2Go --downloadable audio files (that will import into your iTunes)
and finding chapters/books for download. Following are the sites
Donna had sent after the meeting--I've had experience with some of
these regarding audio files of books for students to listen to. I
would also recommend contacting the publisher(s) of any textbooks you
have, as many of those now come with audio CDs of all the text.
For those additional items we need . . . we've been using GarageBand
to record things.
FWIW

I am passing along these websites as requested yesterday at the tech
coordinators meeting.

I can’t remember the sources for converting books to audio or text
format that were mentioned at the tech meeting the month before
last, and we are needing materials for several students.
I have been told that no student qualifies for the state resources
for these conversions in Iowa, I don’t know how true that is, but I
am in a hurry to get some sources.
Help.
