Technology and online learning opens up all kinds of possibilities when it comes to homeschool science curriculum. I had the opportunity to review what the Homeschool Buyers Co-op has to offer homeschooling parents who are looking for science ideas. (If you remember, we also checked out Homeschool Math Curriculum Ideas for Kids Who Learn …

I've mentioned before that math has been a bit of a bugaboo in our homeschooling journey. So when I had the opportunity to share a few homeschool math curriculum ideas with you from the Homeschool Buyer's Co-op, I thought it would be a great opportunity both for me and my readers to learn more about what is available out there. I am being …

Two of my favorite topics to study are history and religion. So when I was presented with the opportunity to review the Association of Religion Data Archives (ADRA) website, I said, "Yes, please!" As always when I do reviews, I was compensated for my time, but all opinions are my own and I was not required to post a positive perspective. Okay, I …

I received a one year subscription to always-icecream.com in exchange for my review. All content and opinions are my own (except the video produced by Always Icecream). Caroline loves to learn via technology and we have used many websites over the years as part of our homeschooling. So when another blogger mentioned Always Icecream for her …

We thoroughly enjoy learning about the International Space Station (ISS). I keep track of when it will be flying over our home and if it works out with bedtimes, we'll go out in front of the house and watch it go over. By using NASA's simple Spot the Station feature, you can use the pull down menus to find the next flyover closest to your …

Caroline loves to learn via technology and she prefers to learn on her own. We allowed her to start using the computer when she was nearing age five (if I remember correctly). Along the way, I've collected quite a few bookmarks of educational websites we've used to varying degrees and a few we'll use in the future when she's ready for them. I've …

Perhaps the best website I've used with Caroline is ABC Mouse. It is by subscription, but worth every penny in my opinion. There are two things that set ABC Mouse apart from other learning websites. The first is the high quality of the site in general. The graphics and production level are far superior to much of what is out there. For example, …

History has always been one of my favorite subjects. I especially enjoy reading or listening to firsthand accounts of historical events from people who were there. It is so much more powerful than learning about it second-hand. I also think it is a much more effective way to teach. Eyewitness to History is a website I found that provides …

We happened across Wild Kratts a few months ago. We had a DVD of three Zaboomafoo episodes that Caroline received a few years ago with a magazine subscription. It was a bit above her at the time so I put it away. She pulled it out recently and I looked to see if I could order some more from the library. That was when we discovered Wild Kratts. …
