Homeschooling involves more responsibilities and considerations of parents. Parents need to be more informed of contents and requirements for homeschooling to allow their children to be better educated. Lesson plan, record keeping, and educational activities are some of the major tasks that should be done for homeschooling. Some of them can be done more easily when you use dedicated homeschool software, but still you need to acquire some knowledge to get started.
Following websites can help you acquire useful information to homeschool your children.
1. Homeschool.com
homeschool.com introduces itself as a kind of homeschooling community that offers forums, articles, and other resources. The site has many links to other homeschooling resources. The contents of the site ranges from adult education, elementary to high school. It also has on-site articles dealing with homeschooling.
The site is a good place to start where you can find myriad of homeschool information. What the developers of the site did to provide a large quantity of information is quite impressive. However, the sheer amount of available resources can confuse a starting homeschooler. The best place to start is articles in the left side of the website.
2. Homeschool World
The website (home-school.com)provides information such as homeschool product catalogs, articles, homeschool organizations, experts, and events and forums. It also offers information on homeschool software, online training and homeschool resources from outside sources. Home life section of the website not only covers homeschool information but also resources for home life in general.
The website also has many ebooks on various subjects of homeschooling. You can find many articles to read on the website. What is less than satisfactory is that majority of the articles were written in early 2000s, which leads to the speculation that the website has not been frequently updated. However, events and forums seem to cover the latest information.
