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 Differently with the Homeschool Buyers Co-op.) So let's jump in and see what's there!I am being compensated for my time to write this post and share this information. These are not reviews, but are provided … [Read more...] about Homeschool Science Curriculum for Online Learning

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 am going to say right up front I am going to gush a tiny bit about this website. It's SO COOL. This is like the promised land for kids (and adults) who love to study history and religion or kids who … [Read more...] about Free ARDA History and Religion Website for Jr/Sr High

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.

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 also included below some we learned about after the fact that are geared toward younger children. I'm sure someone else can use them! Educational Websites for Children We still tend to use the … [Read more...] about A Dozen and a Half Learning and Educational Websites for Children

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, we also use Starfall and subscribe to More Starfall, but their overall production quality is not on the same level as ABC Mouse. Caroline has definitely learned a lot at Starfall, but the quality is … [Read more...] about ABC Mouse Website for Toddlers, Preschool, Kindergarten, and First Grade

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 firsthand accounts of important historical events. They include narratives, radio broadcasts, and historical documents. (It's not a fancy site, but it has neat content!)It is a perfect website for … [Read more...] about Eyewitness to History – Firsthand Accounts of Historical Events
