Hey Loves!
I understand that seeing all of our resources and/or eclectic approach to homeschool can be a little overwhelming. I need you to know we take our time and we utilize games and digital learning platforms.
I am far from a screen-free mama. In fact, we changed our Internet provider because we have so many devices running. I truly believe these can be used effectively and add to the educational experiences.
Here is a snippet of what we use and how we use it.
Podcasts: History, character, cooperative work and more are explained and can be applied all through various podcasts! It is honestly kind of crazy the amount of information that is available in podcasts. We also use them to reinforce lessons, particularly in Spanish.
BrainPop: This app is a deep and rich well of information spanning a multitude of subjects and ideas. They have two levels and we have been very happy with them both.
Epic: It;s only been a year since I was even introduced to this app but WOW! My love for books definitely passed down because my kids can get lost for hours in their vast catalog of books. They have everything from comic books, audiobooks, read-to-me, and absolutely everything in between. They have resource books, story books and original book series.
Kindle Unlimited: Again, more books, I know. We honestly can’t get enough of them. Kindle unlimited offers us a great amount of reading material, while it does have a cap, we have been able to take our time and read lots of books for one low fee instead of who knows how much.
Hoopla: This comes with our library card and admittedly, I use it more than my kids! They have so many audiobooks as well as ebooks,movies and music!
Khan Academy Kids: This was one of the very first apps my kids use and we still love it! It is engaging, fun and somehow never gets old!
Are there some others I must try?
