Children are learning how to operate computers and access programs at a younger age. Now all schools have computers in their classrooms, and have incorporated modern technology like smart boards in addition to desktops and laptops. Educators are now urged to add technology based lessons to the curriculum using them to assist in learning. Giant Campus of Washington is an online school in Washington State offering courses for grades 6-12. The program is free and gives students the opportunity to work from home or school. For parents who prefer to home school their children it is an ideal program. With access to online programs students can get a high school diploma and choose from digital arts, engineering, business and technology courses.
After reviewing the online curriculum it seemed like a great idea for my daughter who is interested in digital arts but not so excited to go to high school. This led me to another website called Teen homeschool hang, this site offers homework assistance, health, fitness and even Christianity and religion. Students can also meet other homeschoolers in their local areas. Under creativity and entertainment homeschoolers have Open Mic for poems, arts and songs. The Library offers reviews for books, movies and music. I am learning so much from doing this blog. I hope that this has provided some information for you as it has for me.
