    Using ebooks for homeschooling

    197:Using e-books for homeschooling

    Sabrina Justison from 7 Sisters Homeschool explains the benefits of using e-books for homeschooling in this episode.

    1. Using ebooks for some or all of homeschooling makes sense for students
    – digital natives
    – take-it-with-you convenience
    – adaptable (font size, text-to-speech)
    – often includes more illustrations for visual learners

    2. Using ebooks for some or all of homeschooling makes sense for parents
    – less expensive
    – quickly updates to current versions
    – highlights/markings can be removed easily for a younger child to use down the road
    – e-schoolbooks don’t get lost as easily when your student is avoiding schoolwork!

    You can find Sabrina and 7 Sisters Homeschool on Instagram and Facebook. Join their Facebook group 7 Sisters Homeschool and listen to their podcast, The Homeschool High School podcast

    Fanschool: A platform for student blogging

    196: Fanschool: a platform for student blogging with Eric Nelson

    I last spoke to Eric Nelson about Fanschool back in episode 47 about their games where students get to draft a ‘team’ and track how well they do which is based on how often they are mentioned in the media.

    show sponsor, FundaFunda Academy, uses these games in their online Government class class and their online World Geography class. In these classes, students play against their classmates to earn bragging rights and Extra Credit.

    Fanschool has now expanded their games to include animals, business and elements of the periodic table – as well as countries and members of congress. These are the ‘players’ that are drafted onto the teams.

    But now Fanschool has expanded to include a student blogging/publishing platform where students can share what they are passionate about. Listen to this episode to learn all about it.

    You can follow Fanschool on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

    If you have a child in online classes, you have probably wondered what the role of parents in online classes is. As a teacher of online classes at FundaFunda Academy, here are suggestions we as teachers there, have for you as parents.

    1. Don’t forget you are their homeschool parent.

    2. Your role will change as they get older

    3. Young children

    • participate with them
    • help with tech
    • provide snacks
    • be nearby

    4. Upper elementary/middle school student

    • more hands-off
    • check they are doing their work
    • ask questions
    • ask for input on class selection

    5. High School students

    DO

    • make sure they know when the class starts and what expectations are
    • still ask them about the class
    • check their grades / are they submitting work on time – can relax this one they prove to be reliable
    • help them develop schedules, overcome learning differences (Listen to ep 125 and 126 on Modifying online curriculum for special needs students)
    • be their cheerleader

    DON’T

    • do their work for them

    Here are the 7 tech skills Natalie is glad she learned.

    5. Typing (previous episode on Typing Games)
    6. Writing an email
