For the homeschoolers who read my blog, I’ll be speaking at the North Carolinians for Home Education (NCHE) state conference in Winston-Salem again this year. I’m giving my distance education talk on Saturday, May 26th, from 12:30 to 1:30 PM in South Main 3. A few of the points I’ll cover include:
- Why distance education is a good alternative to traditional college for homeschool graduates
- How I earned my own four-year degree through distance education
- Which colleges currently offer distance education and how to choose wisely from among them
- An overview of the different methods that can be used to earn credit through distance education (portfolio review, CLEP, etc.)
There will be a few surprises too! I hope to see you there.
I’d love to hear this talk. Although I didn’t have the benefit of homeschooling myself, I’ve got two wonderful little homeschooling rugrats, and a third on the way, and I think I could benefit from your experiences and insights. [And especially how I should go about teaching them Ruby and Rails 😉 ]
Do you have a recording of it? Are you willing to share it?
Brandon, yes, I have an MP3 of the talk. I’ll email you with the link.
