Local Site Wish List
What homeschooling families would like to find on web pages from
library, parenting, and community organizations.
Making Your Homeschool
Support Group Website Special
The very top support group sites do not try to duplicate the
efforts of state association sites or comprehensive homeschool
websites, but focus instead on what they know that the "Big
Guys" do not: their local resources.
Protection Online
Children should never to give out their full name - in fact,
let them make up a nickname to use online. Something other than
"HotChick12!"
Online
Communities
Blogs
Online journals, usually the thoughts, opinions and daily life
of a homeschool family.
Chats
Sometimes you just need to talk to someone "live" about
homeschooling joys and concerns.
Mail Lists
Email lists to leave questions and messages about homeschooling.
Follow the directions carefully.
Message Boards
Places online to leave questions and messages about homeschooling.
Newsletters
