[|http://oneword.com] You are given 60 seconds to write about one particular word. Example: When I did this I ended up with the word "stamp". I wrote about a stamp used on a letter. For 60 seconds I typed (trying to make sense!) about stamps, asking if they were a thing of the past. When my time was up I was able to see what others written about this as well. There website states the purpose is to "learn to flow". I found it thought-provoking and fun. :)

** Books Should Be Free (Kristen) ** In their most recent podcast they shared Booksshouldbefree ( [] ). This site houses public domain books that have been put into audio format for the world to use. The site is easy to navigate, you can download the books through iTunes or as a MP3 file. The books are even offered in 25 different languages!

** Fable Vision Radio (Pam) ** Peter Reynolds is one of my favorite authors (Ish, Dot, etc.) and he provides great educational resources through his websites. [] Fable Vision Radio offers 3 of his books, for free, as audio files - The North Star, The Blue Shoes and Living Forever. (The only drawback - they must be played in Real Player.) Now you would think this would be enough, but Peter Reynolds provides even more to go with one of the stories - The North Star. [], an online literary version that has the story written in both English and Spanish and the option of following a boy or girl main character. Fable Vision Radio is just one aspect of FableVision Place. You will want to take the time to check this out........ [] Main page for this site.
