SOS

It's been a while since I've last blogged...
I've been on a mission.
SOS.
It's called Switched-On Schoolhouse.
After a few weeks of trying, we are finally up and running.
Today was our first "official" day at the computer school.
A few weeks ago we took Ben out of Huntsville City Schools
and began an adventure in homeschooling. We've been using my
own lesson plan until we got on-line with SOS.
So today he had classes in Language Arts, History, Math, and
Science, and a tutorial on how to use the system, along with
his scripture study.
I'm still trying to figure it all out. I'm learning how to do
a lesson plan. I set up and installed the curriculum. I set up the
passwords for the student and teacher. And previewed some of the
lesson material. So slowly but surely things are falling into place.

Ben has been miserable at school for a long time now. And we needed
to do something to get him going again in the education area. We'll
see how this works out for this year and maybe next. And then he'll
be ready for High School. Hopefully He will be ahead of the class
by then and have the skills necessary to succeed.
I'll keep ya'll posted.
