Screens are everywhere. Today we talk about bringing a screen, purposefully, into our homeschool environment as a learning tool and a one-stop-shop to aid the educator.

Let's talk about how you can build a purposeful tablet-based learning platform.

People outside of homeschooling circles often have a vision of homeschoolers who are gathered around the dining room table learning all day. This is rarely the case. Typically we can be just as busy, if not more busy, than traditionally schooled kids. Without the mandated school day to get in the way, we find lots of other ways to fill our time. From clubs, to sports, to enrichment classes and meetups, homeschoolers are often on the go a lot! Today we’ll talk about how to recognize when you’re overscheduled and how to find the right balance.
