Fun, Interactive Weather!
 "Edheads
can be used either as a solitary learning experience or in groups. Once users arrive at Edheads,
the graphics immediately grab your attention. The activities use both
visual and auditory tools to make learning complex scientific concepts
such as forensics, medicine and weather forecasting understandable."
|
Turn Dreams Into Reality!
 "TEL·A·VISION is just that-Tell A
Vision-in a movie. It seems to be popular with students and they have
many examples of teachers using it in the classroom, sorted by topic.
The idea is to think up 10 goals that you, the world, or anyone else,
would like to achieve."
|
Enhance Strategic Thinking!
 "By including logic puzzles found at Math Playground
in your curriculum, you will strengthen your child's capacity to
independently develop problem-solving skills and apply strategic
thinking skills."
|
Engaging Games, Stories, and Videos!
 "I think the National Geographic Kids
site is a great tool for making learning fun. It can be used to
supplement homeschooling curriculums like science, history, geography
and more. Since the site is updated regularly, it makes an excellent
source for teaching current events."

Next Week's "Wednesday Winner's" Prize
On
Wednesday July 15, 2009 we will randomly draw a name from our list of
email newsletter subscribers. That lucky person will win their choice of one ONLINE course from Progress Academy!
Progress Academy was founded by Tim & Niqui Chatfield, the parents of 5 school age children, who simply wanted options when it came to education." Parenting for 14 years has given us unique perspective on education; our children educating us on parenting, and us introducing the world to these five newcomers. We have made many educational choices, and the best thing we discovered was that as parents we DO have choices in educating our children.
We have developed key strategic partnerships with some of the best known and most respected educational organizations in the industry. This enables Progress Academy to provide an innovative and comprehensive learning system to families seeking a better-quality educational experience."
