Make your own school at homeI am confident many people are highly motivated to make their own school at home but do not know how they can start to build a virtual site, where their children can build, report and document their findings. I have found 2 highly effective pieces of software.
The first is a piece of software I have used for many years. It is completely free and very simple to use. Make your own school at home with WebApp is a top piece of software which is easy to download and as long as you buy a UNIX hosting package, you can upload the software in minutes. It is packed full of features, allowing you to upload pictures, reports and anything else you want onto one site. It would also make an excellent place for a group of homeschoolers from the same district or even, if you could arrange it, from another district, to come together to share their experiences and become more social. This piece of software has tons of potential. You can make a list of all the links on the Internet that exciting, and list them by group with a few words. This would allow anyone else to also follow your ideas and build a growing community based on your homeschool.
The second option may at first seem more expensive – as $299 a year. It is the software that built the site you are looking at right now! I have lots of experience of writing websites, some highly successful, some less so and could never get to grips with what made a site a success or not. Hence the reason why I turned to ‘Site build it!’ (SBI!) for help. SBI! is a wonderful company to work with. From the very beginning, they provide you with all the lessons you need to make a solid, well respected website, which will go on to serve the local community. It has endless tools, I am still in the process of learning what half of them do, to make sure that the site is well received by both the search engines and people alike. As they point out, there is no point in building a website, if no one is ever going to be able to find it! I would highly recommend you make your own school at home with SBI! The money you pay pays for the hosting, the name and on going support. They have one of the friendliest forums on the web. The great thing about this software is you never, ever, need to use and HTML coding to build a professional looking site. It would make an excellent project for a whole family, as a family decides on how to select a subject dear to them all, and research it to make sure it is something other people would like to learn more about. It would develop the family’s creative skills and encourage them to think of different ways of expressing a problem. To find out more, just take the time to click the made by SBI! banner at the bottom of this page and apply for your own online adventure. The additional bonus of this software is that it is designed to make money for people who choose to live and work at home, such as a carer or parent involved in home schooling. I have made educational sites using this software and never looked back – so can you make your own school at home
