10 Sites To Download Free Audio Books

If you’re looking for a place to download some free audio books, you’re in luck. Whether you want to get inspired, scared by a mystery, or simply have something to listen to on a long drive, there are loads of places to find free audio books. They may not be on the New York Times Bestseller list but that doesn’t mean they’re not worth your time.

For example, Sun Tzu’s ‘Art of War’ is not quite selling like the ‘Shades of Gray’ but it’s an important read. In any case, these sites all host free audio books that are worth checking out!

NOTE: These are all legal sites that host public domain books. There’s more than enough great stuff in these libraries so check them each out when you have the time!

Free Classic Audio Books

This site hosts a myriad of books that are all in mp3 or m4b format. You can find what you’re looking for by sorting by the author’s last name. The advantage of using the iPod format (m4b) is that it remembers where you stop in a file.

Project Gutenberg

Another source for the classics. Read timeless tales from Dickens, Poe, and more with Project Gutenberg’s massive inventory. Boasting more than 2,000 free audiobooks in basically all categories, this should be one of your bookmarked sites!

Books Should Be Free

Like the aforementioned ‘Art of War,’ many all-time bestsellers are available on Books Should Be Free. They’re from the public domain and you can find what you’re looking for through some handy sorting tools. Want a children’s book? How about just seeing the adult book results? Yep, you can do that.

Librophile

When you first go to this site, you’re shown the price of every book. That price is $0.00, possibly the best price ever. Librophile has a substantial library of audio books as well as e-books that you can search by keyword, language, price (free), and more.

Lit2Go

Lit2Go is a free online collection of stories and poems in Mp3 (audiobook) format. An abstract, citation, playing time, and word count are given for each of the passages. Many of the passages also have a related reading strategy identified. Each reading passage can also be downloaded as a PDF and printed for use as a read-along or as supplemental reading material for your classroom.

LibriVox

LibriVox provides free audiobooks from the public domain. There are several options for listening. LibriVox volunteers record chapters of books in the public domain and release the audio files back onto the net. Our goal is to make all public domain books available as free audio books.

LearnOutLoud Free Audio

LearnOutLoud.com has scoured the Internet to bring you over 5000 free audio and video titles. This directory features free audio books, lectures, speeches, sermons, interviews, and many other great free audio and video resources. Most audio titles can be downloaded in digital formats such as MP3 and most video titles are available to stream online. Enjoy!

Podiobooks

The term podiobook was coined by Evo Terra in April 2005 to describe serialized audiobooks which are distributed via RSS, much like a podcast. Podiobooks is supported by donations (if you use it, you should think about giving!) and boasts a solid set of sorting tools. You can browse popular books, award-winning books, all titles, etc. Lots of great novels in here!

Storynory

Beautifully read audio stories for children and adults. Listen online or via podcast or app. Fairytales, myths, legends and stories from around the world.

AudioCloset

The audiobooks are absolutely free. They have a solid set of books that are worth reading such as Kipling and Dickens. All audiobooks have been recorded especially for the AudioCloset website.

Audiobooks kept me going while working the night shift. I definitely recommend it.

Additionally, not everyone has the easiest time with reading (this post originally comes from Dyslexic Kids), so signal boosts would be awesome.

What do professional video game testers do?

This is kind of the scenario that we lure people in the door with. “Would you like to play games all day and get paid for it? Then you should come work for us.” In practice, that’s not really how it works out, naturally – at least not at this level. Testing of the type you describe *does* happen, but usually it’s called “beta testing” or “usability testing” and it’s unpaid, or paid in product only. By the time a game gets to that stage, it’s basically ready to ship.

“Functional testing” down the hall from us does, indeed, interact with new, unreleased titles all day. They are the last line of defense before a title is released. They get a few days to play it through, but usually they’re not “playing” in any traditional sense. Most of them are running them against test cases – such as, “what happens when you idle at this screen for 15 minutes”, “does the game provide appropriate messaging if you do [thing X]“, that sort of thing. One person does get to be “the rabbit” and their job is to race through the title as fast as possible – this is really the closest you will ever come to a person who is “getting paid to play games all day.”

ALL of this. Encourage people to try new words, to mess them up, to experiment with vocabulary, to learn complicated adjectives and verbs and nouns, because words are fun.

Also, don’t be a jerk.

YES!

Can I leave school if I'm only 15?

If you live in the United States, yes! Homeschooling is legal in all 50 states, so whether you're 7 or 12 or 15, you can leave school if you register as a homeschooler. Keep in mind "homeschooler" is just your legal status -- it doesn't mean you have to have a parent home with you all day, trying to replicate school exactly. There are lots of ways to get an out-of-school education when you're 15.

In Massachusetts, you can leave school at 16 without getting permission from anyone and without registering as a homeschooler. The school leaving age is different in different states, though 16 is pretty common. Check your state's Board of Education web site for the policy where you live.

Imagining Learning (by GAluzre)

What does offering more control to student learners look like? Below I provide some examples – patches to a quilt of sorts. My examples are by no means exhaustive. But I think seeing examples helps.

Students being more in control lies at the heart of Dewey – “learning by doing.” On such a foundation, the progressive education movement grew. The posts coming from Tom Little (@ParkDayTom) provide numerous exemplars.

A cartoon by Charles Barsotti (http://nyr.kr/ZXZKPw) that sums up beautifully the primary issue is education reform. Everyone wants to analyze and test the ball when all we really need to do is play with it.
