74Heaven Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Hi, We want to a very engaging video based history /geog course. Good materials, easy to use, interesting, comprehensive? Suggestions anyone for a 14yo girl and possible tag-along 12yo advanced boy? Thanks! Lisaj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan C. Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 We did BJU so I don't have experience with this, but maybe SOS (Switched On Schoolhouse) since it is on the computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74Heaven Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 And I wouldn't want to do that; but maybe it is not. I will look. I would be very int. in your take on BJU Geography. In the past, we used BJU for Geometry, Chem, US. Hist & Am Lit and we appreciated all but were very happy with the Geometry & 11th gr. U.S. History. SO I am open to considering BJU Geography but I would love to hear your thoughts on it? THe BJU U.S. Hist had short history videos and vignettes that were interesting and well done. A bit too much "useless fact memorizing" overall, using the video curric guide and test package. Thanks for responding. I'll look into SOS & LMK how you liked BJU Geography.

spannymom Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I'll put my 2 cents in on SOS, because I tried it this year for 10th grade World History... it was awful for us! My son, who prefers video methods, absolutely hated it. It is basically a textbook online, and while it does automatic grading, it is no different from reading straight from the book. I uninstalled it after 3 weeks, and have ordered the BJU online courses for History and English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
