I hope you’ll check out my new “baby”….My Audio School. This site has truly been a labor of love, and the response to it has been overwhelming. Yesterday I wrote a few posts on my yahoo groups and officially “launched” the new blog.
The Old Schoolhouse tweeted about it today on Twitter and put it on their Facebook Fan site! Their endorsement brought over 800 visitors to My Audio School today. I’m in shock!
The vision behind My Audio School is to provide a site where audio books from the public domain can be downloaded in one easy-to-navigate spot. A young child or a dyslexic student would have a very hard time getting content for himself from Librivox or other public domain sites. I wanted to do the legwork so my sons could easily find all their audio content, but the site turned out too good to keep to myself.
Much of the content my children need next year for history and literature can now be easily streamed, chapter by chapter, from My Audio School. This will enable even my emerging readers to take more ownership over their schoolwork, as they can now sit down with their history and pick up easily where they left off.
The beautiful pictures and wonderful, classic book titles give me the feeling that I just upgraded my library…yet it is all free, in the public domain.
We’ll be leaving Ancient Times and moving on to the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Reformation and Revolutionary War in a few weeks….so the current content on My Audio School reflects that. I have more projects in the works for other time periods, but for now, please hop over to My Audio School and think about how you might be able to use it!
