There is something for everyone on this site. SchoolhouseTeachers.com is divided into helpful categories to make navigating online learning easier. Whether you are teaching a preschooler, early elementary aged child, middle schooler, high schooler, or you are looking for resources for yourself you will be good to go.

I spent some time browsing the site. Because I have a five year old and an eight year old I wanted to see what I could find that would benefit them. The first thing that caught my eye was a photography class. I am a photographer but I wanted a more formal class for my 8 year old.

R has already start the class and so far we are having a blast. Her first assignment was to go shoot three items on Auto that she could come back to.

This is her first attempt. She loved that the lesson what simple to understand. I loved that she was able to the work at her age while still having a great time.

R also worked on studying aperture as part of her photography course. I loved that the lesson opened with scripture that directly related to the lesson. R had a great time using my DSLR camera and getting some pictures for her assignment. I was concerned that at 8 years old she wouldn’t understand aperture but she immediately associated it with the way that our pupils dilate and she was good to go. I highly recommend checking this class out for your kids or for yourself. We are really impressed with it.

 

The second class that grabbed my interest is the Tinkers Club. This is a great section where there is a monthly project for the engineering minded child to build. C started his first lesson by working to take apart a toaster. He is so intrigued with the process of taking something apart. He has said at least fifteen times, “Thank you mom for getting me into this!”

Can I print the lesson out? 
Many of the lessons I have clicked on offer you the option to print them out and use them in the future. Naturally you will lose some of the video content by going this route but if you are hoping to use the class when you are away from the computer.

How easy is it to use? 
Ease of use will depend on the class you choose. While the format on all classes is very simple to understand some will require certain supplies in order to be successful. Keep this in mind as you look through courses. All of the courses I have looked at are simple to use and require little effort on my part once the class has begun.
