  1. The scanning I'm thinking of is along the lines of the "Libib" app that keeps track of books...only it would include chapter titles, pg. numbers...things like that.
  2. I've searched for an answer to this question and couldn't find it...probably because it's wishful thinking. Anyway, a little back story. I've been using HST+ for years. I recently got a new computer. Now I CAN'T FIND MY SOFTWARE ANYWHERE so I can get it on my new computer (we moved a couple of years ago and must have lost it in the move). I went to buy a new one, and to my dismay, it is no longer available for purchase :scared: . All of those hours of inputting lessons from all of those books, GONE! So, my question is...and here's where the wishful thinking comes in...is there a downloadable (software, not web-based as I live very rural and my internet connection is spotty at best) that has the technology for me to scan the bar code of my books (i.e. Saxon Math) with my phone and it would automatically input all of the lessons within the book and can be shared on my computer (not the actual lessons, but the info. like: Lesson 1, pg. 1-5, multiplication facts,etc.)? With the technology available these days, I figured it was worth a shot to ask? If not, someone should create it! It would save us homeschool mamas a LOT of time. What would be your recommendation for the second best software that I can download onto my computer? Ability to use my smartphone with it is a plus but not necessary. Thank you in advance for your help!!!! Kristie
  3. School started for us yesterday...YIPPEEE!

  4. Here's mine...haven't figured out how to add a link from my iPad so I'm just going to put the addy. If you know how I would love to hear it :). http://sonshineclassicalacademy.blogspot.com/2013/07/it-been-while.html
  5. We used Right Start Kindergarten A and B this year for my ds5 and it has worked well for us...still working through B but we like it.
  6. :bigear: I also have a boy entering 1st grade next year. We do Classical Conversations and I was wondering if MOH would work well with CC.
  7. Here's mine. Happy February! :seeya:
  8. Anyone else or am I the only one? :confused1:
  9. I didn't blog in December so mine's more of a month report. Here's mine. Happy New Year everyone! :party:
  10. We started a new tradition this season and did lots of fun things to celebrate Christmas. I shared it on my blog if you're interested. Did you start any new traditions this year?
  11. I have no advice to give as my boys are still very young. All I can say is I'll be praying for you and your family and your friend and her family. That's a tough one and I'm sorry you're both faced with such a struggle. Blessings to you all!
  12. Sick! I hope none of you get this bug...misery!

      Too late. . . .

  13. I didn't mean that your child is developmentally delayed. I'm sorry if it came across that way. What I meant was that it helps with develpmental skills in general...not delays. When they can't use the motor skills needed to speak (ie, a 1 y/o, etc., not developmentally delayed) they are able to use their hands to speak...that's what I meant. It helped both of my kids develop language skills (I believe earlier than they would have had we not done sign language). I did not assume that your child had developmental delays. Again, I'm truly sorry if it came across that way.
  14. I don't know if this is what you're looking for and I didn't have time to read all of the responses so please forgive me if this is a repeat. With both of my boys (ages 2 & 5), we did sign language from 6 mo and up. Sign language helps children who don't yet have the developmental skills to formulate words communicate (they can sign at a very early age). It also helps them understand language skills. Signing helps children learn to speak sooner due to the understanding they develop through sign language. I find the "Signing Time" videos helpful for teaching young ones sign language. It's fun for us to learn too ;).
  15. Trying to figure out the new WTM site :/

      I like that it is a little "Facebookish" - there are a lot of changes to get used to.

      Me too, I agree :).

       

  16. I find the site "Plugged In" most useful in previewing movies before showing them to my dc. Here is a link to the "Life of Pi" review. I hope it helps.
  17. I did some searching for answers on Pinterest and found some good resources if anyone else has the same questions. My Tablet Pinterest Board.

  19. I posted this in the "General" board as well. I did a search and couldn't find any current (2012) info. for this. I just purchased an 8.9" Kindle Fire HD. I would like to know if anyone has any recommendations for educational apps. I would particularly appreciate any recommendations that would be compatible with our curric. We use SWR for LA and RS for math. We do CC as well. My dc are age K and PreK/Toddler. Any help would be much appreciated. I realize that an IPad has much more to offer but it's beyond our budget so we went with the Kindle Fire. In addition, are there any "must have" accessories that I need to get. Thanks for any suggestions!
