Course Hero

This post is part of our series on our favorite homeschool resources.

Shakespeare led me to Course Hero.

Course Hero is an online learning platform where you can access over 30 million course-specific study resources contributed by a community of students and educators. You’ll find practice problems, study guides, videos, class notes, and step-by-step explanations for every subject you’re studying — from economics to literature, biology to history, accounting to psychology, and everything in between. We help you quickly find what you need so you can learn deeply.

This is a robust description, and I have not yet had an opportunity to fully explore all the resources available on the site. I have the free basic membership. This gives me access to their Literature Study Guides which I use for Shakespeare.

How I use these guides

I will use Richard II, our current play, to walk you through how I use these guides. [Read more…] about Course Hero

Registration Update

We have received several questions on how fast our spaces are filling up.

As of Oct 10th, we have received registrations for 44 of our 80 spots. This includes 37 of our 59 lodging spots.

5 couples have registered, and so far 9 different states are being represented.

We are so grateful and blessed to have received these registrations. We are looking forward to all those friends who are returning, the spouses who are joining us for the first time, the moms who are accompanying their daughters, and all the new friends we are welcoming into our community these year.

National Geographic Mapmaker 1-Page Maps

This post is part of our series on our favorite homeschool resources.

National Geographic Mapmaker 1-Page Maps is my favorite map resource. I predominantly use it for geography and history, but I occasionally print out maps for other subjects as geography plays a natural role in almost all areas.

Mapmaker allows you to create customized world, continent, and country maps. For the US, Mexico, and Canada, you can also make state and province maps. [Read more…] about National Geographic Mapmaker 1-Page Maps
