 This program is working out very well for us. We especially like the Discovery Channel link. I also really appreciate the fact that one subscription is good for both of my children.” Melody, Co-op Member |
Six children in our family in grades K-10 have used eTap in conjunction with a Discovery Education Streaming Plus subscription for a whole school year and have all enjoyed and benefited from it. We have found it most useful for social studies and science studies in grades 4-8; so much that my kids not only looked forward to doing their schoolwork, but they seemed to remember almost everything. Two of my kids loved the curriculum so much that they completed all the grades 4-8 curriculum in social studies and science in one year. The K-3 curriculum seems to be less engaging and harder to implement with beginning readers, but my younger children retained a huge amount by watching their older siblings' educational videos. My high schoolers only tried Earth Science and Government/Economics because we felt that most of the high school courses would not work well as a complete course but could be better used as a supplement. There is no central record-keeping system for storing test scores, so grades must be copied and filed manually. Core subject areas such as math, math-oriented sciences like chemistry, and language arts were not useful to us at any grade level because we needed no supplementation to our other core curricula.”Susan M., Co-op Member |
We purchased eTap about a month ago because a friend of ours was using it and have loved every minute of it. It is easy to use and simple to manage. The lessons are simply explained and easily printed out for School-on-the-Road and for required work samples, as well. We had been using Learning Springs up to that point, which we found difficult to use and difficult to manage. Our homeschooling has gone from a big chore and source of disharmony to a pleasure, every day. We have a year's family membership and will go on using it through the summer and next fall, too.
I have not only told friends about it, but intend to use it for my grandchildren when they come to visit. We even shared it with our Education Specialist and she loved the ease with which we printed out work samples. She says she thinks this will be ideal for some of her other families.”Mrs. Lisa Agin, Co-op Member |
