My oldest daughter who is in 9th grade is really loving the whole site, however, I am only letting her take two online electives this semester. She's taking Violin and her foreign language, French. Her favorite is the Violin course with Mrs. Nancy. Here is what she had to say about that course. "Mrs. Nancy's violin class is great. I love how she goes at a slower pace for quick understanding, but not too slow where it's boring. The only thing that I dislike about the class is that the lessons are very short, however, the advantage to that is that they are straight to the point. I really love the fact that she included her Skype information in case we need extra practice. I think the beneficial part of the class is that it is on video so that you can hear, pause, and rewind if need be. I'm looking forward to more of this class!" I am thrilled that she is enjoying this class. It is exciting for me because I haven't been able to find her a violin course since I pulled her from public school. The majority of the classes are way above our budget. So I am especially grateful for this.
A couple of the other features I like are World Book Resources and the Video Library. Schoolhouse Teachers provides a free subscription to a lot of World Book libraries free of charge to its members. Listen, the World Book is the bomb.com (that means it's fantastic)! We are currently learning about the ancient times so, I searched Ancient Egypt and it provided us with a wealth of information and it is formatted so that my kids can understand it. We also enjoy the games, especially the times up math game, because my kids are so competitive. The Video Library compiles all the videos from the different providers into one spot. This is extremely helpful for us because we don't have to go searching through courses just to find a specific video that we're looking for.

This site is very easy to navigate even for people who are not tech savvy like myself. I'm looking forward to using it with my three younger children in the upcoming weeks. If you think your family could benefit from some or even all of this site's resources you should definitely take advantage of their 2018 Fresh Start New Years special, it's an awesome deal!! So, because you're special I am going to share that code with you.

ReplyDeleteThat's great that your children can use this to learn violin. I play the violin and am very thankful for the money my parents spent on lessons so I could learn how to play.
