As a homeschooler tech geek I have a few things to add too.<br><br>1. Not only live learning sites, but did you know that there are public virtual schools popping up all over the country? I'm taking Mandarin this year with VLACS, a virtual charter school free to NH residents. It's cool stuff, although they still have a long way to go with bugs and things.<br><br>4. Haha this is so true! I went through a very antisocial phase when I first became homeschooled and I was all about my online friends. Lots of Skyping. :)<br><br>5. I'm doing this too! I'm plugging ALL my Japanese vocab into iKnow to learn it... it's awesome. I don't know what I'd do without that site. Hey Koichi, awesome post!
