It&#8217;s not just supplemental tools for kids; in some places they can take online classes.<\/p>\n<p>My daughter loves <a href=\"http:\/\/www.starfall.com\/\">Starfall.com<\/a>. We were introduced to it at her preschool class. It&#8217;s a free website with educational games for younger children, up to around 1st grade for the most part. It has a lot of really great games.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s online tutoring too. Sites such as <a target=\"_blank\" onmouseover=\"window.status='http:\/\/www.classof1.com';return true;\" onmouseout=\"window.status=' ';return true;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/si75hz74z6MOQUQTNQMONRUURTR\">Class of 1<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lduhtrp.net\/bh66r6Az42OQSWSVPSOQPTWWTVT\" \/> offer tutoring and homework help for K-12 students, as well as college students. That&#8217;s probably pretty handy when you can&#8217;t figure out how to handle the work yourself or your child just needs more help than you know how to give. <a target=\"_blank\" onmouseover=\"window.status='http:\/\/direct.tutor.com\/default.aspx?ap=110001&#038;utm_source=cj&#038;utm_medium=disp&#038;cj=1';return true;\" onmouseout=\"window.status=' ';return true;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.kqzyfj.com\/sl72dlurlt8ACGCF9C8A9DGGDC9\">Tutor.com<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ftjcfx.com\/to114ax0pvtEGIMILFIEGFJMMJIF\" \/> is a similar kind of site.<\/p>\n<p>But for those wanting a program to go through for homeschooling, there are all kinds of online resources, from a full on high school program to individual courses. The Internet has made it possible for advanced courses to be offered to those who are interested, no matter the distance.<\/p>\n<p>And then there are products you can learn at home. My niece is using <a target=\"_blank\" onmouseover=\"window.status='http:\/\/www.RosettaStone.com';return true;\" onmouseout=\"window.status=' ';return true;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/42106xdmjdl02484714021487554\">Rosetta Stone<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ftjcfx.com\/hm122drvjpn8ACGCF9C8A9CGFDDC\" \/> software to study German on her own. I&#8217;ve been debating getting something along those lines for my kids, since they say the earlier kids start on a foreign language, the better. I know that my niece is very happy with the program she&#8217;s using, but I&#8217;m wondering if the <a href=\"http:\/\/rover.ebay.com\/rover\/1\/711-1751-2978-71\/1?AID=5463217&#038;PID=1373603&#038;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Feverythingelse.search.ebay.com%2Fmuzzy_Education-Learning_W0QQ_trksidZm37QQcatrefZC12QQfromZR40QQsacatZ16706\">Muzzy program<\/a> would be better as it&#8217;s geared to younger children.<\/p>\n<p>My daughter&#8217;s kindergarten teacher has said that she will be sending home a list of programs the kids will be using in school when they use computers, and I&#8217;m definitely looking forward to having that. It should help me to keep up with what is really useful for her age.<\/p>\n<p>Do your kids do any online educational activities?
