I'm a big fan of the Homeschool Lounge, and I do a lot of 'networking' on the internet, and I find it invaluable, especially lacking as we are in real life fellowship. I started a group on the Homeschool Lounge as a contact point for people in the UK and Europe, but it occurred to me that there was nothing similar for people in the UK, and so I decided to take it upon myself to create one.
The result is the Home Education UK network - a much smaller and humbler version of the Homeschool Lounge, and with a decidedly British 'flavour'. I'm hoping that it will develop into a really useful resource, a kind of 'one-stop-shop' for advice, support, encouragement and information on all things relating to home education in the UK. It's designed to work in partnership with the Homeschool Lounge rather than as competition to it.
There are groups for every kind of home education method (Charlotte Mason, Unschooling, Classical, etc.) and various different curricula (Sonlight, ACE, Ambleside Online etc.), and I'm planning on starting regional groups as an aid to making local contacts; there's a forum with various categories, including Teaching Methods & Learning Styles, Curriculum Subject discussion (History, Geography, Maths, English etc.), Special Needs and a Marketplace. If you join up, you also get your own profile page where you can blog, (and upload your homeschool blogger using the RSS feed), post photos and videos and more.
Come take a look today!
