The Internet offers a lot of treasures! It may not be in the form of actual gold, although I’m sure some could find some on the Internet – probably on ebay! Being a Blogger Friend is all about sharing our treasures. The assignment this week is to share our Internet treasures…

 

A website you visit everyday  –

Homeschoolblogger   Company Porch is my home page.

 

First place you look for a book to buy –

I check out Amazon because of it’s database and information about a book, then I often use Seekbooks  because it is Australian based. 

 

If it is a Christian book I go to Koorong

 

Favourite Homeschool support area –

Homeschoolblogger because it is one mum to another mum, and very diverse.

 

Homeschool site full of information that you use regularly –

Site that you buy your new curriculum from –

Homeschool Favourites – an Australian provider

 

Site that offers frugal tips to save money –

A site that provides good wholesome recipes –

The Raw Table

 

An informational site that shows you how to –

I Google “how do I….”

I often search on “Lesson plan for ……” and get many free lesson ideas, unit studies or creative ideas.  I like the search engine www.ask.com though I am sure other engines find good lesson plans as well.

 

A homeschool family website that you purchase from to support them 
Homeschool E-store   I love the ebook format and the wide range of products.

Homeschool Favourites  Mary supplies materials that are in keeping with my philosophy and goals.

 

A charity website you support –

Though these websites are frequently visited there are still guidelines – some of the activities or TV shows presented here are not allowed to be watched so they are not allowed to play those games.

 

list any other sites that you would like to share that have provided you with a wealth of golden information

Heart of Wisdom    Over the years I have learnt much from  H.O.W.   I  especially appreciate the information on Biblical World View  when looking at education.  I have learnt a lot from their book, Heart of Wisdom Teaching Approach.
