[aisle] overdrive and schools

[Carrie DeForest]

I just did this for my school over the past week. I gave Sora my tech
director's email a few days ago, and as of this morning, it is up and
running. It is now one of the apps students see when they click on the
Google 9-square, and they log in using their Google accounts. As of right
now, I'm just using what is free. All of my students live within the same
public library district, so that makes things a lot easier. We also use
eRead IL and I agree, it's great for Chromebooks.

Does anyone have experience with using Sora to provide a title for One
Book, One School? I was hoping to use this, but I haven't been overly
impressed with the titles they have available via their "class sets." Same
with Follett. If anyone has suggestions, I'd be glad to hear them!

Thanks!
