Little Blue House Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I see that a subscription to DE and BP are not available to purchase on the G3 website. click on link and go all the way to the bottom of the page. http://www.onlineg3.com/mod/page/view.php?id=3222 Im assuming this is b/c we are mid school year. Any idea when they open up registration for the 2012-2013 school year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Blue House Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Shoot. I don't want to wait until August. May have to order DE through Homeschool Buyers co-op. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicA Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I wrote and asked her about a month ago, and she said it is closed for this academic year. She didn't say exactly when it would be available again, but I'm hoping it will be early summer. I don't want to wait until August either!

KarenNC Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I would say it is highly likely to be August as the current subscriptions run out July 31, IIRC. I'm planning on switching to G3 from the HSBC subscription this coming year. I had gone ahead with the HSBC because it took so long to get answers from G3 last summer on whether the G3 subscription would contain the middle school Spanish program, which was my main reason to subscribe. Their selection is not exactly the same as either the basic or plus DS through HSBC, though still extensive (I think I remember that the number of video selections fell in between the numbers of the two HSBC options). It turns out that they do have the Spanish, but it has been a poor fit for my daughter, so it's no longer a relevant question anyway. I really like having DS as a supplement for most subjects, though, so we're switching to the cheaper subscription even if I have to miss a couple of weeks between.

foxbridgeacademy Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 FYI- I went through G3 last August(late) and have decided that DE is well worth the $130 (basic) we'll probably get the Plus next year. Not as impressed with BrainPop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as impressed with BrainPop. What major differences did you find in the G3 subscription and the HSBC one? I don't really care one way or the other about Brainpop at this point.

Good to know about the G3 response time. Even though it's more expensive it might be worth just doing the Basic or Plus. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenNC Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Good to know about the G3 response time. Even though it's more expensive it might be worth just doing the Basic or Plus. Thanks! To be clear, the response time was to a specific question about the content of their subscription and was sent during the summer (I think it was early-mid July), rather than an attempt to subscribe. I don't remember if they do summer courses or not, but it did take weeks, not days, to eventually get an answer. I finally went with HSBC (looks like by the end of July as my current subscription ends 7-30) and got a response after I did that. This was a very different experience than I had a few years ago with them when we did the Brainpop subscription through them for my daughter's 3rd grade year (she's 6th now). At the time, that was the only extra offered. The interaction in that case was timely and we had no issues with the Brainpop subscription at all. Subscribing online for that was also not an issue, as I remember. I haven't tried taking a course nor have we actually accessed any of the webinars or forum options they offer.

Canadianmumof5 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 The login is "gthreestudent" and then they gave you some really weird password which is just letters and numbers.......does that help? ETA: sorry the above is to access brainpop. to access DE - it is your email address and then that same odd password that they sent you.

Calendula Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Thanks! It did confirm that I didn't have the info in my email. :) They just emailed me, so I'm back in the saddle. Thanks for your help!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
