Making use of the public library

We looooove the Palmerston North City Library, but what if they don’t have the books you want to read? Well, you fill in the request form.

And if you loooove eBooks, you should check out ePukapuka. Unfortunately you may have to avoid their many sleazy family-unfriendly book covers as you browse.

Fundamentals of the Faith

This is a great workbook for working through the basics of the Bible.

A teacher’s guide is also available.

You can buy it from here (USA) or here (and Teacher’s Guide) in New Zealand.

In addition, there is a FREE MP3 series that runs along with the workbook, so there is minimal input required from the parent.

What does Apple’s new iBooks and iBooks Author mean for homeschool education?

Apple’s iBook event video:

http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1201oihbafvpihboijhpihbasdouhbasv/event/index.html

What does this event mean for home schoolers? I suspect it means a lot, but we may not see the results in our midst for a year or two. In a nutshell:

  1. Textbook authors can now easily make their own beautiful digital textbooks for the iPad and sell them on the iTunes store. These textbooks are at most $14.99 USD and can be full multimedia.
  2. Schools can now follow the iTunes U (University) model and put full courses including notes, lectures, video lectures, and assignments online for free.

This surely opens the doors for full homeschool curricula to be defined and offered worldwide to any iPad user with minimal input required from the parent-teacher.

What do you think? Amazing? Exciting? Would you use a curriculum (e.g. SonLight or Apologia Science) if it was available on the iPad?

One of the best resources for homeschoolers

This website is amazing:

http://www.khanacademy.org

Sal has put together over 2,100 short videos beautifully explaining myriads of educational topics: physics, finance, history, economics, the financial collapse, algebra, calculus, chemistry, trig, stats……

The advantage of learning from videos like these is that you can learn at your own pace. And stop and rewind. And replay. And replay. Until you finally understand it. Brilliant.
