A Place To Start

One of the most obvious deficiencies, as we look around us, is the ability to learn how to handle computers. That is where we have chosen to start. By the time you read this, we will have a downloadable series of programs on computer management, troubleshooting and operation. We will cover the most commonly used computer programs such as Windows, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and FrontPage. 


Homeschooling
Homeschooling is now growing at the rate of 15% a year, and students following traditional learning pathways have fallen behind. Home schooled children, on the average, outperform other students in many ways. There is an extremely large number of parents who would like to homeschool their children, but are prevented from doing so because of lack of time. There is a host of written material and other resources, but it is frequently costly and ineffective.
The logical next step is to provide homeschoolers with free, enjoyable, audio-visual instructional media. We anticipate that an entire K through 12 series can be placed on a few CD ROM disks, and we intend to accomplish this task. 


We will shortly have an initial series on our site for download. Initially, we will provide instructions for making your own videos and anticipate that people all over the world will be able to add to our efforts. This site will act as a point of exchange. The only hardware requirement is a fast modern computer which is currently selling for about $500.

We are sponsoring the John Gatto golden apple award for teaching excellence. There is a whole series of plaques for people of all walks of life who are making an outstanding contribution to education, and this will receive wide publicity. We are currently accepting nominations for this honor. Please contact us if you have people that you believe should be recognized.
