So I thought it might be a fun experiment to search throughout blogland and find blogs that were talking about Time4Learning homeschool curriculum. What kind of experiences were folks having with T4L? What is the current buzz?
And here are some fun excerpts:
Found at MomLaughs:
Megan and MacKenzie find the self-directed learning on Time4learning Homeschool Software easy to navigate around on.
Found at Melina Thinks:
We’ve logged our 24 hours of Language Arts modules at the Time4Learning site. For the past few months, I’ve been noticing slight increases in how many of the words in his math workbook directions he can read. These increases matched up with his hours logged at Time4Learning. He’s now able to read about 60% of the directions himself. He started Time4Learning not being able to read any of the directions in his math workbooks.

I’m not a big fan of kids being on the computer very much. #1, I’d rather see them reading books and #2, I don’t like to share my computer. My children, however, looooooove to play on the computer. Their time is very limited and I’m picky about what they play. This is why I was hesitant when invited to review a website for kids. The kids, however, were thrilled…Time4Learning was Honor’s first computer experience at our house and she loved it. I was surprised how quickly she picked it up and amazed at how independently she was able to work.

I’d like to discuss what my children like most about Time4Learning…the Playground! The Playground is an area where your student can kick back and play games after doing some of the more academic activities. Of course, this is the favorite part of the program for my kids!
As I mentioned earlier, we used Time4Learning for a few months last year. At that time, my youngest had not discovered the Playground. This time around, being older and wiser, he found that area shortly after the first log in.Found at MartinZoo
After a bit of sketching, we headed over to his 5th grade Time4Learning math program. I must say, I really, really like this program. GB loves the cartoons and games that reinforce what he is working on. Today he was working on estimation in the billions. All of this was extremely easy for him.
It is so much fun to see what subscribers are saying about their experiences with Time4Learning. I’ll definitely try to check back and do another post like this one in the near future!
