  1. http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Browse/Search:crash+course+viewing+guide+world+history There is a free one you can download to try it out and I wound up purchasing the whole set. The kids are getting more out of the videos now. :)
  2. I saw someone posted a link to viewing guides you could purchase on TeachersPayTeachers that go along with the World History Crash Course series on YouTube (thank you whoever you are!!!!). I have been searching and searching for something similar to that for American History but mainly the sciences. My kids really enjoy these videos on topics they have never really had the drive to learn, but I feel like if they just watch them they won't get much out of them as now that they are more focused on answering the questions to go along with the World History courses they are "getting it" more. Does anyone know where I can find something similar for the other Crash Course subjects? Thanks in advance!
  3. Another vote for Mr. G at currclick. My daughter has taken French with him all last year and getting ready to start up with him again in the fall, and my other daughter took his German course this summer. I wish he offered German all year long as well.
  4. My daughter has taken and is currently enrolled in several classes on Universal Class. She gets prompt feedback on her assignments and enjoys the classes. :)
  5. These are all great! Thanks everyone! My kids love the online interactive "quizzes" too, which I found on Glencoe where they have to name each country. Okay, I'll admit it, I enjoyed it too! They thought it was amusing how little mom knew of Russia! lol!
  6. Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions.... off to check them all out! :)
  7. DD is in the middle of 9th grade. She has taken geography in elementary and middle school, along with mapping activities but I have realized lately that none of the geopgrahy stuff has stuck. She asked me if New Orleans was in Chicago? And she has no clue what coutries make up Europe, etc. So, I am looking for a secular geography recommendation for her please. I looked at PAC and really liked what I saw, but it's a bit pricey for me at the moment. Thanks!
  8. I too miss the conversation feel of the old For Sale boards. I think it would be helpful with the way the Classifieds are set up if we could separate them by Grade Level or Subject. It takes way too long to go through the ads and click on something only to find out it's for elementary when I need high school, or even just to see what's being sold. I feel as if it doesn't show enough in the subject line to know what exactly is being sold.
  9. Thank you! I purchased the Groupon! I wouldn't have even noticed it if you hadn't pointed it out! :)
  10. I am being asked for an access code to get into the Glencoe resources? Anyone else being asked for one?
  11. Were you using the homeschool version and still found it not to be homeschool friendly? What about it did you find not homeschool friendly if you don't mind me asking? I am mathy as well, and oldest DD is not, so it's been hard to find math that appeals to her and how she learns and retains math concepts. How often does the "faulty grading" happen? Thank you for the replies so far! :) Very helpful!
  12. I just found out about this math today from someone mentioning it on the boards here but I would love to hear experiences with it. My oldest DD is a visual learner who likes to see examples worked out on a whiteboard to explain to her how to do math. Math is also her weakest subject, though she has come quite a long way in the last year or two in math. We just started Algebra 1 this week and are using Teaching Textbooks, but she just isn't really digging that the lesson on the disk is just basically a man talking. I know she can see the practice problems worked out if she needs to, which we have used a few times, but it's just pretty bland to her and I'm not sure she is going to do well with it. Any goods/bads with Kinetics would be greatly appreciated!
  13. Yes, I agree with you there. I have the same result too. :( I much preferred the old Sale/Swap Board over the new Classifieds.
  14. I agree with what everyone is saying about the search function. It is making finding anything I am interested in buying very difficult! Beck - In the top right of the screen where you see your username, if you click on the arrow next to it you will see "Manage My Classifieds". Hope that helps! I just found that yesterday! :)
