C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I've been coming here for years (check my post count, not the highest but far from being a newbie) Well, now I have a child in college, and my youngest almost there, so I started working. My company has written a curriculum that would be of interest to homeschoolers interested in technology (robotics, programming). Not anything that comes in conflict with any of Peace Hill Press products. :) However, I haven't had the need to look into homeschool materials in many years, and I no longer know how to advertise the product. I am intentionally NOT referring to said product here, so this post is not an advertisement. It's really a request to be pointed in the right direction to places where I can advertise! So if you're looking for some technology related homeschool material, where do you look? CleoQc 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maize Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Rainbow Resource; possibly also Home Science Tools. And if you have a link I would love a PM with the info. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maize Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Homeschool Buyers Co-Op Oh yeah, forgot about that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Homeschool buyers co-op was already on my list. Nice to know I'm not so disconnected. I'll look at Rainbow Resource, which I had forgotten about. And the product is not available yet so there's no link to be shared. I wouldn't use the forums here for free publicity anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Hi, Cleo!! I know that Canadian Homeschool Education Resources is popular in Canada, and you probably know a ton more closer to Quebec. I'd love to learn more about your programming and robotics products, too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momto4inSoCal Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I agree with homeschool buyers co op and rainbow resources. Other than that I use the direct websites and Amazon. You could also go to some of the homeschool conventions and set up a booth. Educents is another site relatively new. I would also try and get some popular boggers to review it to get the word out. I don't feel like there is a lot for homeschoolers in robotics and technology so I think anything in that field would do well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilaclady Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I think going to conferences may also be a way to promote the materials but really I get a lot of info from reading about what different people have used. Some homeschool bloggers are big on doing reviews. Maybe Cathy Duffy if she is still publishing her book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
displace Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I get ideas from tinder doodle frequently. And lots from blogs, so maybe direct marketing for reviews? Or, instead, have a video on your website of products in use. Conventions for homeschoolers. And word of mouth from here on the forums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian (a lady) Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 It would partly depend on what grade level it's written for. Now that I have high school students, I don't usually read through Rainbow Resource, even though I poured over the catalogs when my kids were younger. Christian Book Distributors Home Science Tools Timberdoodle Of the big outsourcing things we've done (Oklahoma State University's German Online, Amplify/Edhesive AP Computer Science, and Lukeion Classes, I think I heard of each of them on these boards or from a friend. Lukeion has booths at conventions, but I still waited to hear reports from other people before I took the plunge.) I used to read some homeschool blogs, but I've gotten away from that as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 Quite a few of you have asked for the info in PM, so I'll post this once here for everyone. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/john-cole/spy-v-spi-robot-missions-code-capture-defend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
