TammyinTN Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 all the different curriculums your researching? Background: Our two oldest daughters both did A Beka DVD all through high school. Our ds is half done with 8th grade A Beka DVD and wants something different. I'm researching, writing and making notes, but how you I organize it all? I'm really doing massive research on curriculums/catalogs and would love to hear how to keep all this stuff organized. I haven't had to do this before and I'm trying to formulate a plan for 9th-12th grade. Basically HELP.....;) Thanks bunches!!! PS> He wants to be a dentist...any information on this would be most appreciated! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailofsparks Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Since no one has answered you yet, I'll venture out with a little tip: When I was selecting a Latin curriculum, I made a chart (pencil & graph paper), which included distinguishing factors about each curriculum. Ie: ecclesiastical vs classical, cost, and other considerations, along the left column and the various curricula across the top. As I researched, I checked the areas. If I were doing an overhaul, like you are, I think I would use this method for each subject. Then just create file folders per subject. Sorry if you were looking for a computer-generated approach!

TammyinTN Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 This sounds like what I'm looking for. Also, I purchased one of the accordian file folders for all my catalogs--I kept leaving them around the house, and this will make me keep them all together. ;) Thanks for the suggestion. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaxMom Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I have a spreadsheet. Basically: subject, grade, brief description, standout features/standout cons, vendor(s), prices. It's a running list so when I run across something I think may fit with future goals, it gets added. (I make no decision without a spreadsheet or flow chart, though.)
