Reviews, Homeschool Style

by

There are a lot of review sites out there, blogs that review products and services. And quite a few of them are aimed at parents, or even more specifically at moms. But there aren’t many homeschool review sites. Are there? If I’m looking and just not finding them plase let me know!

The one that I do know of is LWH Reviews. Jo, of Life With Heathens fame, reviews games and products that are educational and fun. Like her latest review of the computer game Jumpstart World. Apparently her 5 year old was thrilled to be able to share in the reviewing fun. ;) She also posts great EduLinks that share some of the best sites she’s found.

751072_browsing_1.jpgHomeschooling has the potential to become a huge business. As it bcomes more and more mainstream and the numbers continue to rise I am surprised that there aren’t more sites out there specifically for giving reviews of homeschooling products. One thing that pops into my mind is the 3Moms/Efantastic issues. It took searching the web for small bits here and there to find information on them. If there were a site specifically set up to review products, curriculum, books, etc… designed for homeschoolers it might be more than just useful.

I’m certainly not signing myself up for this task! I have far too much on my plate as it is. Just tossing out an idea that I have been thinking on and hoping someone will take it and run with it!

    My homeschooling blog is fairly new, but I have reviewed a few books and products and plan to do more. Another source for reviews is Eclectic School Online.

    Thanks for talking about my blog sweety. :) I’ve been having fun reviewing all kinds of stuff and being able to pass on fun, educational, and interesting things that I come across or are sent to me. I started the LWH Reviews blog because I couldn’t find blogs on homeschooling or just mostly kid based products either. Wild isn’t it?
