Lit2Go
Many thanks to my friend Patricia King of Loudoun County Public Schools in Purcellville, VA. She recently attended the Florida Educational Technology Conference and sent along this resource.

The enormity of this project is staggering, but contained in this site are hundreds of stories and poems in both the text and MP3 format. This site is a dream for anyone that deals in literacy. (hint: I hope that’s all of us)
I haven’t done a great deal of experimenting, but it seems like it would be a nice companion to Google Lit Trips that was just mention by Will Richardson on March 8th, 2007.
Thought: Clearences may be a nightmare, but what a great idea for HB instruction.
Question to copyright gurus: Could you provide MP3’s of text or articles for educational use? What if it was direct to the individual?
I think using social tools for HB Instruction would be a good topic at NECC or at edubloggercon on the 23rd.
