This Friday, April 22nd at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time I will discuss the variety of ways that kids can pursue their passions and enhance learning with technology on home education expert, Laurette Lynn’s Unplugged Mom Radio Show. Among other things, on the show we plan to talk about the detrimental effects of restricting children's freedom and stifling their growth through school policies that ban the use of the technology kids need to succeed in the world. We will also discuss how to apply ideas of home education to a school environment as well as alternative learning options for parents whose children attend school. Finally we plan to talk about the disconnect that seems to have befallen schools who rather than preparing students for the world are instead preparing them to become proficient at filling in bubble sheets.
Be sure to tune in by visiting Unplugged Mom Radio here or catch the interview in the archives! If you have questions or comments please contact me prior to the show or post them on The Unplugged Mom’s Facebook page.
Sounds like it's going to be a great show!
ReplyDeleteDuring our 13-year unschooling/homeschooling/cyberschooling adventure, Grace Llewellyn's book "The Teenage Liberation Handbook: How to Quit School and Get a Real Life and Education" was inspiring, as was her book "Guerrilla Learning: How to Give Your Kids a Real Education With or Without School."
I've recently started tutoring urban kids, and look forward to getting some new ideas on how to apply homeschooling principles in a regular school environment.
Keep up the great work ladies!
