Homeschooling & Educators Mega-List!
Here are a variety of websites that I have collected from multiple sources. 17 pages worth. Most of these links I believe came from a thread at mothering.coms education at home forum, but I have combined my other lists into here as well. These are not organized too well, so you’ll have to visit each page to determine if they fit your needs. There are things here for all ages, homeschooling or just supplemental work for your children.
I’ve found many college extension websites have archives of great articles. Many of these are geared for older audiences, however some have kids areas and you can certainly use some of those articles and create something of your own for your children. And for those of us who are doing our own research into things not related to homeschooling – it’s great!
At the end I also have a list of Christian websites for homeschooling and activites. I hope you enjoy!
Worms www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/worms (also take away /worms and you’ll find many neat resources)
www.guiltfreehomeschooling.blogspot.com – huge resource for those considering HSing, just starting out, and already HSing.
