Homeschool families are pretty familiar with homeschool co-ops. It’s a gathering of homeschool families to cooperate together in teaching classes. They usually meet once a week at a location close to the participating families. But have you ever heard of a virtual homeschool co-op?
In today’s podcast Carol Topp interviews homeschool leader Sheri Payne who runs a virtual homeschool co-op that meets online. Participants attend from across the globe!
In this episode of the HomeschoolCPA podcast Sheri explains:
- How the virtual co-op works
- What technology is used
- How to operate it without cost to the parents
- The advantages of a virtual co-op
- The disadvantages of co-oping online remotely and online
My favorite quote from Sheri in this episode is “Using technology even Socratic discussions are possible!”
Carol and Sheri met online at the I Am a Homeschool Group Leader Facebook Group. It is a closed group (meaning you have to request to join) of 530 homeschool leaders from across the USA (and maybe the globe soon!). You can join us here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/72534255742/
