How to Make a Website for Parents Who Home School

A large number of people choose to not send their children to public school and choose to teach them from home. Many people who home school have come up with lesson plans and other ideas that other home schooling parents can benefit from. Setting up a website to share lesson plans, ideas, and information about home schooling is a great way for home schooling parents to easily share these things with other parents. Learning how to make a website for parents that home school can help ensure that information is organized and easily accessible to all visitors to the home schooling website.

The very first page of a website is called the main page or the home page. The home page usually contains very basic information on what the website is about and what users can gain from exploring the rest of the website. Clearly stating what the goal is will help visitors get an idea of what they can find on the website. Also featured on the home page and any other subsequent pages are links to other pages available on the website. By right-clicking on one of the page links, visitors are redirected to the corresponding web page. This allows for visitors to the website easily navigate to the different pages to get the information they are seeking personally.

Subsequent pages on the website should be organized and focused on a particular area that visitors might be interested in. A page can be dedicated to providing general information about home schooling and how a parent can get started home schooling. This information is for the purpose to someone who is just starting out and has little to no idea where to even begin. The experience and knowledge of the person creating the website can go a long way in helping a neophyte begin their own experience with home schooling. Links can also be added that direct visitors to other web pages that contain information and requirements specific to their state.

Another page can be focused on providing the necessary lesson plans for a given subject. One way to accomplish this is to create a single page with links to pages on the specific subjects. This requires a bit more work on the part of the website designer but will be a great benefit to those seeking out specific information. Another way to present lesson plan information can be to provide links to download lesson plans that visitors can keep and use when creating their own home schooling plan. Again, this may require additional work to create different documents that contain the specific lesson plans.

Organization of a website plays a huge role in how a visitor interacts with any given website. Learning how to make a website will ensure that a person creating a website is armed with all the necessary information to properly organize his or her website. How the content is presented on the website is entirely up to the web designer but should be done with the website visitor in mind.

One Hundred and One More Devotions

Have you read the book "One Hundred and One's Devotions for Homeschool Moms?" If you haven't, then you're missing out on a blessing! This book was written by Jackie Wellwood, home schooling mom of 7, for the past 10 years. This is a wonderful devotional for home schooling moms who want to start their day with the Lord. One Hundred and One More Devotions for Homeschool Moms, is a sequel to her first devotional.

As she writes, "There are days when knowing you're not alone"-knowing that somebody understands both the frustrations and the joys that you face as a homeschooling mom-is the only thing that helps you through. There are days when nobody understands the encouragement you need quite like another homeschooler. "

In her books, Jackie starts each devotion with a short scripture, followed.now by a two-page, devotion, relating to that Scripture. At the end of the devotion she offers a prayer, and the a small section called "Food For Thought." This section has 3 questions for you to think and ponder on throughout the day, and for you to answer.

There are some ddominant themes in this book such as being a good example to our children, relating properly to our husbands, trusting in the Lord for provision, taming our tongue, and the value of the character training.

As she says in her book, "I have been transparent in this book in much the same way I want to be honest with God. Hiding my failures does little to help to grow. On the other hand, sharing them with all of you is quite humbling. I believe that many of you are struggling with the same things that I have shared in this book. Seek the Lord for help, knowing that you are not alone in your struggles. My desire is that you will press on after gaining greater insight into yourself and God as you read through this devotional. "

It's definitely a book that I related to, and I don't doubt that in many areas, if not all of them, that you will be able to too!
