Welcome to Learning Online Blog, the site designed to help you find the resources, tips, and deals you need to successfully homeschool your children.
Who Am I?
My name is Susan Brown and I am a former teacher and homeschooler. I started homeschooling my children as a single mom in the early 2000’s. When it became too costly for me to do it, I enrolled them in a virtual school because, at that time, there weren’t the free and inexpensive resources available that you can find on the web today. My oldest daughter graduated from the virtual school with honors. I went back to homeschooling my youngest daughter halfway through her junior year so that she could take college courses online.
When my daughters grew up, I wondered what I should do with my life. God told me that I should help homeschoolers with this site, and with the curriculum and resources I publish on Warm Hearts Publishing. So I completely redid Learning Online Blog and set it up with directories and new blog posts that have resources, tips, and deals that will make it easier for you to homeschool.
How to Use This Site
It is very important to me that I make it easy to find what you need on this site. That way if you are doing a lesson on states of matter, setting up a unit study on the solar system, looking for tips on using the Charlotte Mason method, or trying to find discounts on homeschool products; you can locate what you need on this site easily and quickly. Note that this is a growing site. It will take me time to create blog posts on all of the different topics used in homeschooling, so I suggest that you check back here frequently or subscribe to my weekly newsletter to stay up to date on new posts. If you subscribe here, you’ll get my Mega Math Learning Pack free.
I have set up four ways for you to find what you need on this site.
