My daughter's achievement test score in science and social studies were both up 20% this year over last year. She says that the NASA projects we have done online and other geography projects helped her during the tests. I am curious if anyone else noticed any differances or noticeable improvements as a result of adding online projects as a learning tool? She has just completed the sixth grade this year and we do homeschool so we can be flexible with the amount of time online and so forth. I am encouraged to keep on improving my efforts to add online tools to regular studies. She is very computer "savy" and types easily, that helps in her case as I notice that children without computer skills do not enjoy being online. Remedy: start "computer exposure" at a younger age. ************************************************************************* Diane Smith- ------Foundation for Educational Choice------ dianes@halcyon.com http://www.halcyon.com/maywood Maywood Center Seattle, WA http://www.halcyon.com/dianes/diane.html -------------------Kidlink Kidproj Assistant------------------------- ********************http://www.kidlink.org/******************************
