Sunflower Schoolhouse

I apologize for not getting a post up for Tech Tuesday yesterday, but life has been a wee bit crazy around here since my son’s trip to the ER on Sunday (post about that coming soon).

Since my husband and I both work from home on our computers we have naturally incorporated computers into our homeschool. Our children have learned how to do all of the following (and more):

• search the internet using a variety of search engines –  Google, Bing, Dogpile, and DuckDuckGo
• use a variety of educational software such as - Creativity Express, Rainbow Rock, Vroot And Vroom, Inspiration and Kidspiration.
• use Libre Office for basic word processing
• the basics of blogging (links to their blogs will be coming soon)
• create graphics with Inkscape
• create basic animations using Anime Studio 
• watch videos on Netflix (we are taking a break from Netflix right now, but they have some awesome videos)
• watch educational videos that we have purchased (Mathtacular, InquisiKids, and Body Of Evidence)
• watch educational videos online using – Discovery Education Canada
• used ComicLife to make comics
• used various mapping software online (Google Maps and Mapquest) to explore various areas around the world.

How do you use the computer in your homeschool?
