Online Homeschooling
I used the term homeschooling online because so much of your work in class preparation and instruction can be done online. You will find endless resources on the World Wide Web covering almost every subject you can think of. You will also find many websites offering enough free lesson plans and homeschool catalogs and programs to fill your teaching days for months. You may also need some training if you feel you are not fully qualified. An alternate solution is to hire someone who is qualified as your child's teacher. Not everyone can afford this luxury. You may want to consider a part time tutor for the more difficult subjects or a "teacher's aide" to give you a break once in a while. In most states in the United States, and provinces in Canada, you will be required to purchase your homeschool curriculum from the State Board of Education or other appropriate agency. You will also need to purchase the necessary books and materials that are required in any classroom. You can use the kitchen table as a desk but you may also need a blackboard or a dry erase whiteboard. Whiteboards are not as messy, they're easier to clean, and easier to read than chalkboards. A typical course of study might include Reading, Writing, Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science and Health. The list goes on getting progressively more difficult with each grade. Most states and provinces also require periodic standardized testing for which you will have to prepare your children. You may also need some training if you feel you are not fully qualified.

You may have decided to homeschool your child due to family needs and concerns such as traveling, military service, or other employment. Your child may have a serious illness or disability that requires him or her to remain at home. Some computer based courses may be beneficial for gifted homeschoolers who may view things differently to maintain their interest and increase their potential. The Internet can be a blessing with online homeschooling by helping and assisting you to gather needed materials online and by helping you to maintain contact with other homeschooling parents through homeschool blogs and homeschool associations. You can find several online homeschool resources and homeschool associations listed on the resource page at homeschool resources Don't be too critical of yourself during your first year, you may have to alter your curriculum for some subjects and change your method of teaching. You will probably find that the first year is the most difficult and you will have to determine what works for you and your child. This is an excerpt, to continue please... Click Here
