animation, 3-D art ......if you go query gaming jobs or working as a character designer or gaming company jobs or gaming jobs..or look at your games who makes them ? do a job search under their name you will find internships go for it and learn it from the inside instead of in the schools....let the company pay for your education its to their advantage and yours

I went to homeschool.com\n\nThey have a getting started kit, that includes a book with guidelines for the laws in every state and information on the different options you have for homeschool education - working with a local school, interenet curriculums, unschooling, you name it. \n\nThere are lots of these types of organizations out there to help our growing population of homeschoolers.  In my state, California, they even have a California Home School Group\n(http://californiahomeschool.net/default.htm)  You might have something similar in your area.\n\nPeace!

These sites might help you. It lists schools by State, then search that school's website.\n\nHere's the answer from the last website:\nHowever you ask about "WEB" design. Let's get something straight from the get-go. FIRST and foremost you must learn DESIGN. Period. \n__ Now, most of the time I don't know if people are actually talking about DESIGN or if they're merely talking about the mechanics of building web information delivery. While they are two entirely different things, the industry seems to have muddled their meanings, just to sell you stuff. If you take a sober look at the wildly successful "Designing Web Graphics" book, you'll see it has nothing to do with design. Nothing. If you look at 99% of all the other books that have "Web" and "Design" in the title you think you're going to learn how to design. But you won't. No single book fills the challenge, and most are talking about building tables and rollovers. So read my lips: to learn Web design, learn design first. \n__ All three alternatives you stated above will work for you, however "efficiency" is a very vague term when describing a discipline. Design does not come efficiently. It will come with \n\na) exposure to and study of the work of masters\nb) understanding how to analyze any given design problem\nc) understanding how to analyze who your message is intended for\nd) understanding how to apply simple design rules\ne) sensitizing vision to see and recognize when good design is achieved\nf) many, many, many, many, many design exercises, trials and errors.

We have used their services numerous times over the past few years, and have found them to be very available and extremely helpful. \n\nLegal forms and advice:\nhttp://www.hslda.org (Membership required for much of this site.)\n\nFor information, advice, and support when homeschooling a special needs child:\nhttp://www.nathhan.com/\n\nGiven time, I could probably dredge up other sites that we have used, but these sit on my desktop on in my favorites as the ones I go to often.\n\nBlessings to you.\n______

edhelper.com has some that are free and more if you buy a subscription - less than $20/year;  also try www.internet4classroom.com; that  one by grade level and subject;  has games and some worksheets - all free

Try www.studica.com\n It dosent really matter what system you use--be it a mac or windows xp. I lab top would be more flexible because you can carry it with you where ever you go,literally.\nBut a desktop/ or workstation computer would give you more power, depending what you put in it. Sense you mentioned your taking graphic design,you'll need either Adobe photoshop cs2,adobe illustrator, or the adobe bundle, zbrush or after effects,a tablet PC(for drawing on and transferring your art from the tablet to the PC/lab top.)\nSorry but I can't help you on the financial aid,sorry.\nP.S. you might want to search around on studica for a decent deal before purchasing anything be it: licenses,trial versions,ect.\n\nGood luck to you!

Most of my interests revolve around my family and homeschooling. I love to design fun units of study for us all to do together - especially hands on science units. One of my favorites has been the summer we spent learning about stream life and care with the creek that runs through our property. We did daily observations of tadpole development and crayfish behavior. We did daily chemical analysis of the creek water and our indoor observation tank water and plotted the data for longterm trends. We dissected crayfish to understand their internal systems - not ones from our creek but prepared ones ordered from a lab. It really helped us to understand some of the crayfish behaviors. We learned about scuds, minnows, toebiters, boatmen, mosquito larvae, frogs, water snakes, snapping turtles, and much more. We have also had fun learning about the symbolism of the Jewish festivals and how everything points to Christ. Oh and the customs of New Testament weddings is quite interesting when you discover the parallels between it and the Second Coming of Christ. We have built a Tabernacle model while learning about the 40 years the Jews wandered in the desert. Every bit of its design points to Christ. My husband and the kids really had a ball with the construction - wood and plasticine model making. Our 2 week density study was wonderful, waterfilled fun! Right now I am gearing up for our summer plant biology study. We have already gotten some seeds planted in out little greenhouse amd are hovering over them daily waiting to see the first hints of growth. I love homeschooling and am so glad to have all these memories to treasure for the rest of my life!\n\nWe all love computer and internet activities. My oldest son, now 18, builds and repairs them. My 11 year old used his birthday money to buy a years worth of server space so his website has enough room to handle the game mod he and his friends from across the country are making together. My daughter stays busy with her forum and computer artwork. I have several forums, a blog, and stay busy with computer projects of all kinds. I just learned how to use PaintShop Pro 8 and Animation Shop 3 in my portrait work. Here lately, I have been hanging out here at Yahoo Answers.\n\nI am into watercolor and pencil portraiture. I used to run a portraiture business, but I have let it go until after the kids graduate from homeschooling and I have more time to devote to it from a business perspective. Until then I am enjoying painting portraits of the kids and doing a few portraits for friends.\n\nWe all love music. Our favorite CD is Joanna's Looking Into Light. Be Thou My Vision brings tears to my eyes every time.

If you are looking for a complete curriculum, I have heard a lot of people like Abeka - a Christian programs that covers all the basic subjects, I think (though I have never used it myself).  I would highly recommend the book "A Thomas Jefferson Education," by Oliver DeMille.  You can guy it a gwc.edu in the bookstore section.  Check out hslda.org for info on home school groups in your state and info on home schooling in general.  One more piece of advice, don't get too much into the "school" mentality (my child has to do this, this and this at this, etc.).  Be flexible - that is one of the beauties on home schooling.  If your child doesn't like the curriculum you have, find something different - there are TONS of options out there.  Good luck!

Why not take advantage of the fact that they are young enough to reprogram them out of the typical "one size fits all cookie cutter" approach to learning? Have you looked into other methods along the home-schooling spectrum? I would pick up a few good books about home schooling elementary aged children and start getting creative instead of relying solely (if at all) on a packaged curriculum.

There's not much to pay for really!  Depending on what state you are in, you can probably do it for almost free!  A library card, internet access, some paper and pencils are just about all you need!\nI'm homeschooling my three children for almost nothing.  My 8 year old is doing the most focused work, so I'll tell you what I do with him. \n\nWriting: a $9 workbook from Wal Mart called "The Complete Book of Handwriting."  This goes from age 5-10 or something like that.  For older kids, they don't need much, just practice. \n\nReading: Whatever library books he's interested in.  We started off with a phonics program from A Beka, but you can find phonics curriculums free online if you look hard enough.  A Beka has a book called "A Handbook for Reading" that you can get for about $12, that teaches all the phonics sounds. \n\nHistory, Science, Social Studies:  Look at the WorldBook encyclopedia Scope and Sequence website.  They'll have a list of what should be learned at each grade level.  Then you can go to the library and find REAL books about those topics. You can look for science and history projects online for your topic. You can watch movies and educational tv shows about your topic.  \n\nMath:  For math, we use workbooks from Wal Mart. "The Complete Book of Math- Grades 5-6" is what my 8 year old son is using right now.  They're cheap (about $9 a piece), and cover everything that needs to be covered.  If your child needs extra practice in something, you can look online and find free worksheets.  Example:  My son needed help with long division.  I did a search for "long division free worksheets" and found a lot of them that I downloaded and printed out for him. \n\nI've educated my son for about $40 per year!   It's a lot cheaper than most people think.  Of course you could go out and buy an expensive $500 curriculum, but it probably wouldn't work for your child, as most homeschoolers tend to realize that the all in one curriculums just aren't for them.  Try it the really cheap way that I just described and I'm sure you and your children will love it!\n\nIf you need any more help, please email me!! I love helping people with these things!

http://www.geocities.com/Athens/8259/how.html (it says theey exceeded their bamdwidth so try later) It worked when I first clicked on it.\nhttp://www.naturalchild.com/articles/learning.html\nThere is also a wonderful booklet from The Natural child project (above) on homeschooling. \nhttp://www.kinderart.com/index.html\nDefinantly have her explore Homeschool groups(usually through Yahoo groups or the like) in her area. They do field trips and have play groups so the kids can still get the benefit of friendships. Also check the YMCA's for Homeshool hours at the gymnasiums. They have P.E. time only for homeschoolers at the rec center where I am from. \n\nBest of luck to you and her!!
