As an administrator on Brain Hive account, if you set up an account, you can checkout/explore to your heart's content without being charged! They also give you Brain Hive bucks (usually about $50 toward checkouts). They also have an option to purchase multiple-user copies of any books in particular. (An entire class of 25, for example, could check out eBook individually for $25 total or you could purchase a multi-user license--I don't know price of these; the eBook with audio version is $2/checkout. I'd give Lizbeth Stein a call, she can answer your questions about your needs for the grade 8 class.) I'll be mentioning Brain Hive in my presentation at CASL/CECA on Monday. Brain Hive is sending me some give-aways for attendees that I'll share--not sure what's coming!
Enjoy,

Good Morning,
I am looking for solutions to an audio book issue.
Our 8th grade English classes use a literature circle model - 8 of our special education students need an audio version of the same literature circle title to listen to on their own device (NOT a CD.) The idea being that students could access the audio title on their phone with an ear bud and inconspicuously listen to the title.
I have explored Audible, Overdrive, and AudioBooks.com. Each of these is a one-to-one license. Short of purchasing 8 different copies of the same audio title, what other solutions exist for schools?
Many thanks in advance for any advice,
~Aimee
