Audible

I got to use audible for the first time ever this semester. I have heard about audible in many many places. From the spotify and pandora commercials, to youtube people talking about using it. I'm not a fan of reading whatsoever and it honestly takes me months to finish reading a simple chapter book. Not because I am not capable of reading but because I am lazy at reading. In this particular essay we had to pick out a short book to read about the scientist we chose. I knew it would take me a pretty good amount of time to read a book so I decided to listen to a book. 

Audible actually gives you the option of signing up and trying your first book for free. However Amazon gives you two free trial books! Which is what I chose incase the first book did not give me the information I needed. The book was a little over 2 hours long, but it was much quicker to listen to it than it would have been for me to read the book. It was also helpful because I could take notes as the book was being read to me. It allows you to rewind if you need to or even make the reading pace super slow, super fast or normal. 

Even though I would not use audible for all my school work, in this particular case it really helped me out. Audible would also be a really good use for students to download the book to listen to and then have the physical book right in front of them. This could help them learn to follow along, pronounce better, and even comprehend better as well.
