Lit2Go: a massive collection of free, downloadable audiobooks and more: "


Good morning all,

Came across this terrific resource at Kristen Swanson’s session at EdCamp NYC this weekend, and since it was new to me, I thought you might not know about it either!

Quoting from their website:

Lit2Go is a free online collection of stories and poems in Mp3 (audiobook) format. You can:

  • Download the files to your Mp3 player and listen on the go,
  • Listen to the Mp3 files on your computer,
  • View the text on a webpage and read along as you listen,
  • Print out the stories and poems to make your own book.

Here’s the listing for The Adventures of Tom Sawyer:


As you can see, this classic is available in multiple formats (though the .PDF link is broken). The entire Lit2Go library is available directly on iTunes, making it even easier for those with iPods to enjoy this content.

Mary Beth Hertz also mentioned the Belkin Rockstar, an inexpensive (under $30 at Amazon) device that lets up to five people share a single audio connection:


Add one of these to an iPod and BAM! You’ve got a listening center for up to five students. Awesome!

Hope this helps!
