Thanks to the promotion of our grant to the teachers and students, a community parent contacted me about donating iPods to our school! Next week, a local businessman and parent of Beebe, has offered to donate over 20 first/second generation iPods for iPodject. It is hoped that these iPods will be in working order, but also a cheap/easy way to actually check in/out audiobooks from the school.
In our original grant proposal, the five $250 video iPods were just too much responsibility to entrust to a Beebe student outside of the school setting. However, the donated, older iPods from this local parent/businessman would allow for the audiobooks to be checked out easily and without concern for loss!
The iPods are scheduled to arrive this week and I will challenge myself to look into constraints of the older models with our audiobook needs. Currently we have the audiobooks available from the grant for checkout:
+a variety of Dr. Seuss books
+a variety of Bernstein Bears books
+Magic Treehouse (books 1-10)
+Charolette’s Web
+Tale of Desperaux
+Eragon
+Harry Potter (books 1-6)
This donation is a HUGE celebration for iPodject and its goals. I offer my sincere thanks to the Beebe community and I will endeavor to make great use of these donations. IF any other local or outside community readers have iPods they would like to donate to the project, we will gladly accept your donations and I thank you in advance for thinking of us!
