Posted: Thu Sep 28, 2006 10:35 am
Hi everyone! My name is Kat and I work for an educational software company in Massachusetts. Although I am not a homeschool parent, I would love to understand more about your homeschooling experiences. We do not know much about the challenges and benefits you face, as well as the resources you use and depend on as a homeschool educator. If you have a few minutes to spare, I would greatly appreciate it if you could answer a few questions that I have listed below.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email me at kat@fablevision.com. Thank you so much for your help and your time and I wish you all the best of luck with the new school year!
1. What is the greatest challenge you face as a homeschool parent/educator?
2. What are the greatest benefits?
3. What magazines/websites do you use most frequently? Why?
4. What sources do you consult when trying to find books, software, and other educational materials?
5. Do you prefer books, software or a combination?
6. What do you look for in educational products (i.e. functionality, price, interactivity, entertainment, quality)?
7. Where do you go to buy products?
8. If you do buy educational software, is it usually for a specific subject, or is it cross curricular?
9. What software are you currently using? What have you used in the past?
10. What are the drawbacks and benefits to the software?
11. So you teach your children how to improve their studying skills? How?
12. What subject do you find most difficult to teach? Most enjoyable? Why?
13. Do you attend any conferences? If so, which ones and how do they help you?
