With a bit of money left at the end of the year (my spending routine was way off this year) I have decided to try Overdrive for my school.  I am a fairly proficient user of this product through my public library and have been struggling with how to get e books and especially audio books into the hands and ears of  my students.  The Overdrive representative for our area happened to contact me and I was pleasantly surprised at how (sort of) affordable this service is.  To begin I have invested $2000.  I am purchasing mainly audio books with some popular e books to test them out.  As I understand it, our students will log in using their school email and password (our tech department makes that magic happen).  As soon as we get the authentications, I am ready to roll.  E books are between $25-$45 and audio books are slightly more expensive at $60-$75.  Some have different digital rights (only 12 checkouts)  but it all seems very straightforward otherwise.  All my students will need is the app on their own device or to go to the link on my website.  I THINK (hope) they can read these books off line on their Chromebooks.  The sales rep says they can.  Here’s hoping he’s right!
