Ways to integrate technology into your homeschool
81: 6 easy ways to integrate technology into your homeschool
Here are 6 easy ways to integrate technology into your homeschool. Don’t try to do them all at once – just try implementing one way first and then add as you go.
1. Daily Schedule
Ideas for ways to do that:
2. Record keeping
Keep track of community service hours and grades at the very least. Google Sheets is a free option, but you can also use a tool like Homeschool Tracker
3. Use tech in areas you struggle with
- Replace read-alouds with audio books
- Use math apps and games in math
- Study history through virtual field trips and video games
4. Pick one tool you have heard about to learn – and then use it with your children
Some suggestions for tools to use:
- Google Docs
- Canva for creating graphics
- Powtoon to create animated videos
5. Assessment through online quizzes
Make it fun by using websites like Kahoot, Quizizz, and Quizlet – use readymade ones until you feel comfortable creating your own. You will plenty at all these websites on any topic you want to test your children on.
