Effective Educational Software: Software for Homeschooling

If you are looking for software to help with your homeschooling, then I have the list for you. There are many different software titles for homeschooling. I have put together a list of software that would really help you out. Some of these are games and some of them will help you keep track of your lessons, journals, and stuff.

Edu - Track Homeschool

The Edu Track is the first on my list. I have not used this program. But I have talked to different ones in the support group that do use it. They say this program is well worth the money. Edu - Track makes it easy for you to keep your records up. Here are some of the features of this program.

Lesson Plans
Track Hours
Progress Reports
Teacher's Journal
Assignment Sheets
Electronic Filing Cabinet
Track Attendance

This program does much more. Edu Track is $62.50 with shipping. If you are tired of doing paperwork then this will be a great program for you. Please visit their site for more information on this program.

Homeschool Tracker

This is the program that I use. Homeschool Tracker is free or you can upgrade by paying $39.00. I used the free version and it is really nice. The free version has everything that I need. In the free version you can track attendance and hours, manage, copy and reschedule assignments, and more. This program is definitely worth downloading. You can upgrade if you want to but I believe the basic program is plenty of what you need. Please visit their site if you are interested.

Homeschool Easy Records

This is another software that you can use to track your homeschool progress. You can try this software for 30 days free and if you decide that you want to keep it you pay only $39.95. I haven't tried this software personally but I know a couple of people who have. They seem to enjoy it and they said it was worth the money. The Homeschool Easy Records lets you create lesson plans, certificates, print records, transcripts and more. Please visit their site if you are interested in this software.

Homeschool Minder

Homeschool Minder is another tracking software. This program allows you to keep track of grades, lesson plans, assignments, transcripts, and more. You can try this program for free. If you decide that this is the program for you, you can buy it for $39.95. I don't know anyone who has used this program but you may like it. Visit their site if you are interested in this tracking software.

Zen HomeSchool

Zen Homeschool has a big selection of software for the kids. Their selection covers Writing, Reading, Math, Science, Computers, Keyboarding, and Foreign Language. Most of these products are by Achieve. This site is worth checking out.

The Homeschool Place

The homeschool place offers some great educational software. They have many different categories. Some of the categories are Bible, Language, Geography, Writing, and Spelling. I'm sure you will find some useful stuff on this site.

Planet CDrom

This is the last site on my list. Planet CDrom has some great educational titles for homeschoolers. They have Math Blaster, DK I Love Spelling, and Piano for Kids, just to name a few. Visit their site to see all that they have to offer.

I know that it is the end of the school year for most homeschools but it is never too early to start planning for next school year. I think you will find some great software on these sites. The tracking software will make it a lot easier on you, if you hate doing paper work.
