    This article tells the reader about the top 10 advantages of homeschooling your children using online learning sources/schools. There are numerous benefits to homeschooling, and being that this "new" technology is allowed through online networking, it is now possible to communicate with other children, parents, teachers, and administrators through the online forums on each homeschooling website. Which allows for ease of usage, easy communication, question and answer phases, research online, etc.

    This page explains how there are many benefits to homeschooling children, but there are three ways that are usually overlooked: 1) When children are homeschooled, many of the children do better than they would have traditionally done because they are able to work at their own pace. 2) Bullying is at an all time high, so more and more kids are escaping the traditional classrooms to stay home and not be bullied. 3) Standardized testing has become a nationwide headache and many families are choosing to homeschool their kids to keep them out of this type of testing.

    This is a bit biased as it is written by a company that produces and distributes e-books, but the information in it seems valid and is a different perspective than the usual negative ways technology influences education.

    It long has been known that play is really the work of childhood. Researchers have been paying a lot of attention to rapidly evolving technology and its role in early education. Research continues to bear out that young children develop and learn best through play. With young children being continually expose to technology, the question now is, what then, are potential impacts of technology on play-based learning?

    This article describes how some school districts in low income areas in Florida are utilizing digital libraries to help supplement their reading and exposure to technical devices for their students. It helps students by reading out loud to them and helping them understand the language and phonics in addition to giving them the skills to learn how to use the devices.

    There are many benefits to homeschooling children, but it takes a large commitment to do so. There must be some prioritizing and working around many issues to make it work. Usually one parent volunteers to stay home to become the full time "teacher" or "learning coach". Being a homeschooling parent has many benefits, one of which is to bond with the children, have more outings, and hands on experience with the kids.

    Homeschooling can benefit children greatly, and while most people believe that homeschooling allows for a lack of socialization and awareness of the environments around the student, it's actually the opposite. Homeschooled children ease into college without too much trouble and easily out perform regular students. They are more independent and they are easily able to prioritize tasks to be completed.

    This link talks about Disney's new educationally based games for children, where they focus on math, but will also have ones for science, language arts and social skills. The article has some detractors, saying that Disney isn't reinventing the wheel with this, and that it isn't geared towards schools, but towards parents. I feel that it's a cleverly disguised marketing tool for Disney and isn't really pushing solid skill building.

    A very interesting but brief article about how three people involved in social media / high tech decided to get together and try building a start up to bring more tech into classrooms. It discusses their initial failure, which I appreciate, and how they worked around this failure to find a model that worked for them.
