Use Of Technology In Schools
Is there a book or other resource for technology for home schoolers? (Lots of answers, please!)?
I have written several nationally-published, widely-used technology books for students and teachers. I am considering writing a book as an introduction to technology for home school students and parents. I want to include chapters on several different technologies (digital cameras, scanners, online services, etc.) and hands-on student projects for using them. (During my 24-year teaching career I have found that many – not all – but many home school students are not exposed to educational technololgy.)
So – I want to find out if there is a book or web-site already out there. No – I don’t intend to buy it or copy it ! 
In fact, I probably won’t even look at it. But – if there is a book published that everybody loves, then there’s no reason for ME to invest my time writing an alternative.
So – please tell me… is there a book you currently use? Is there an interest in such a book if it were available?
In teaching our 9th grader, I would use library and Internet resources.
The community colleges have had success with dual enrollments of home school students age 16 and above, and they now have branched out with classes for those under 16.
We used public school on line study guides and inter actives for our study of computer technology. Most schools have web pages with links to study sites.
The website below looks interesting for digital camera study.
