I cannot begin to describe the blessing that BJU Press Online Learning has been to my homeschool. It gives me the flexibility I need to keep up with the constant needs of my household. It gives me time to nurture my little ones. But best of all, it gives me the assurance that my daughters are getting a top-quality education with a biblical worldview. This year, we’re going to be using Online Learning.
In the past, we’ve used the DVD program—and loved it! But the online program offers some benefits (and time savers) that the DVD program doesn’t, specifically in the areas of record keeping and lesson planning. With this program my children have greater ability to manage their own learning, and that will give me, as a homeschool mom, more control over their grades.
Encouraging Independent Learning
Most homeschool moms (including me) want their children to become independent learners. They want their children to be the kind of learners that can set goals, manage schedules, and meet expectations with little assistance.
Online Learning encourages independence. Students can easily pick up where they left off and easily move from one task to the next.
Students also have more control over the speed of the video lessons. They can speed the video up or slow it down, depending on the amount of time they need with a concept or task.
Giving Me Ultimate Control over My Homeschool
Part of the beauty of homeschooling is the ability to tailor the learning experience to each of my child’s individual needs. So, at the end of the day, I want to be in control of my child’s education. BJU Press Online Learning gives me that control.
I’m really excited about using Online Learning this year. If you’ve used it before, what’s your favorite feature? I’d love to hear from you in the comments below.
