I want to tell you about my favorite magazine in it's digital version. The Old Schoolhouse magazine has been around for a while but I never took the time or money to subscribe- I now see that was a mistake. When I found an issue at our local Borders bookstore I snatched it up.. I am so glad I did. It was a breath of fresh air. I got so much inspiration from that one issue. I hadn't realized how starved I was for help, encouragement, new ideas,etc... Not only were there articles geared towards encouraging me as the homeschool teacher but there were unit studies already created for me- ready to go. The kids and I were using those unit studies the day after I purchased the magazine! We had a blast.My husband saw how inspired I was by this magazine that he bought me a subscription for Mother's day. Now you can get this magazine digitally for less than the print version- and delivered right to your email box.
The first thing that stuck out to me was that you don't have to download the magazine. This is important if you have slow internet like I do. I was able to click on a link and view the magazine right online. Very cool! You can also send your favorite articles to your friends- which you can't do with the print version. I love that I can also print out articles.. For instance- the unit studies. I love the unit studies. You can print them out to use during school. Or print out articles you want an older child to read. A cool feature is the link button- click it and if there are any links within the page you are on they will appear, no more typing in links for a website you find within an article. You can bookmark your favorite articles, change the settings- zoom in or change the speed of turning pages.
Let's not forget the financial savings: 32% cheaper than the print version subscription. I have a subscription for the print version and when it ends I will be getting the digital version. I can read it online, print out articles I want to save for future reference- or unit studies to use currently (this months issue has a unit study on flying machines- perfect for my 5 boys!). I can bookmark articles, download to my computer etc.. I think it is set up perfectly for the homeschooling mom- ease of use.
I may be partial already because I really do love the magazine. It is my favorite. If you haven't read the magazine already.. you are missing out. I have a wide range of ages of children and I always find tips for all ages. The unit studies can be used from grade school to high school. Great articles covering every school subject. Plenty of great reviews of new homeschooling products, books and curriculums. You will not be disappointed in this magazine. They really are there to help you succeed in your homeschooling journey.
