LearnOutLoud: http://www.learnoutloud.com/
Audio books, podcasts, and video learning are all available at the LearnOutLoud website. When you first enter the website, there are tabs to view a catalog, search audio books, browse free material, listen to podcasts, explore material for children, or subscribe to the website.
There are choices for different book genres ranging from science and travel to business and literature. The website shows what titles are new and available, lists the top 10 bestsellers, displays free featured audio and video titles, as well as free podcasts.
Its sister site, KIDS LearnOutLoud, has options for the user to browse through audio books, videos, and podcasts appropriate for young individuals ages 8 and under, ages 9 to 12, and older. On this website, there are options to download free material as well.
I believe this website would be good for the classroom because of the fact that it has material that lends itself to multi-sensory learning. I enjoy reading books, but I cannot sit down for more than an hour reading. I tend to lose focus. I remember listening to an audio book and following along with my paperback text. I read and followed along for three hours. I believe this would also happen if I exposed my students to audio books, podcasts, and video learning.
