The Value of Learning How to Type in Education & Psssst! A Little Something For You – A Giveaway

March 31, 2014 | 67 Comments
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

This Giveaway is now closed! Thanks for stopping by! Guess what? I plan on doing another giveaway for this wonderful typing program in the summer right before back to school.  Be sure you are following me to know about it. The winners are listed at the bottom of this post after I draw them.

Learning how to type was something I valued learning in high school.  Dare I mention that the typewriter I learned to type on was even older than an IBM Selectric typewriter, which is dinosaur old by today’s fast changing standards.  It had one of those moving carriages and weird me loved looking up at the end of a sentence as I pushed the carriage return back to the left.

Though moving carriages and the more advanced sphere like ball, which replaced moving carriages are both things of the past, the skill of touch typing is alive and thriving.

How Did You Learn To Type?

Because typing is a necessity in this fast changing world of technology and a life long skill that I know my kids will use, I have been searching for a typing program that fits my standard.  It has not been easy.  So I was thrilled to receive Ultimate Typing and to use it with both of my sons these past few months.

(I received Ultimate Typing free in exchange for my honest opinion.  All opinions I have expressed are my own or those of my kids.  And for sure I will tell you what is on my mind. Click here if you want a full disclosure.)

touch typing in education-1

Oh sure there are some free programs and other typing programs I used when the kids were little that taught them some light typing.  But now that they are older, I have been looking for a solid program that goes beyond just fun.

Look at my list of what I think a well-rounded learn how to type program should include:

  • Tutorials should be state of the art.  With the technology we have today, my interactive learners like video teaching and the videos should be high quality and engaging.  Boring lessons on a blank page do not do it for us.  I mean this is typing right? So I need it a bit more lively;
  • My older kids should be able to do it independently;
  • Don’t penalize me because I have a large family or want to use it with multiple children.  Even if I had one child, I may want to use the program for myself or brush up on my skills without worrying that I am breaking copyright laws.  Complicated pricing for multiple users is a big turnoff for me;
  • It should have incremental teaching tips;
  • It needs to educate my boys on ergonomics because when sitting for a long time, it is important to take care of their hands, wrists and back.  I had a test in high school on the importance of posture and its affect on the body.  Of course this was because I was a serious typist typing 130 words a minute in my prime, but its important that my boys know how to correct back or hand problems if they have them;
  • Because my boys are not preschoolers or kindergarteners, I want a tracking system that I can use for each child to chart their progress, which is not babyish;
  • I want it meaty enough so that I can count it as a high school credit elective for Mr. Awesome;
  • I want it to have easy to read text with bright and clear pictures; and
  • And for both age groups, I want lots of games and ways to make it fun.

I got all of this and so much more as we used Ultimate Typing over the past few months.  At first I was hesitant about accepting the curriculum for review because of the lack of well, glamour, in previous programs I have used.  Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t just want something that is state of the art with high quality graphics that is pretty to look at, but it had to teach typing in a way that is not boring.

After I unwrapped Ultimate Typing, I instantly saw the superior quality.  There is just no comparison to other programs I have used over the years and that includes comparing what you get for the price too.

learn how to type ultimate typing 1 learn how to type ultimate typing 2
learn how to type ultimate typing 3 learn how to type ultimate typing 4

Ultimate Typing has a variety of games and exercises for every age learner, which is one fact that I really love.  Also though, a high quality video precedes the lesson to explain what to do and what you will cover.  Watch the high quality tutorial and begin your lesson.  The boys don’t need me standing there.

The boys hunted and pecked with free programs when they were young, but wanting to seriously learn how to type so that it is a life-long skill requires a program where you actually learn how to type.  I am glad we have used free things over the years as it strengthened their finger skills.  But teaching my last two boys how to type shouldn’t take as long as it did with Mr. Senior 2013 because of not having an actual typing program instead of just playing games.

Bored and Board

There is no substitute for old fashion drill, repetition and practice when learning how to type.  So I certainly don’t envy the company that can make tutoring that skill a lively one and Ultimate Typing has done just that.

learning how to typeThere is even practices for dictation and the first one was A Tale of Two Cities. learning how to type
Love the fact that even though my sons have not got there yet, the advanced lesson topics include vowels and diphthongs, common phrases and prefixes and suffixes to name a few.
learning how to type when there is a mistake learning how to type

Educators know that the value of typing is the ability to be able to articulate and convey ideas without being hampered by fine motor skills.

Though I feel that cursive handwriting will always be the hallmark of a well-educated child, learning how to type is essential today.  Communicating ideas through typing allows any level of writer to focus on his overflowing ideas instead of formation of letters.

Whatever the complexities about keyboards too, most young children start learning quickly on them and their passion to express their ideas needs to be nurtured.

Ultimate Typing touts several honors and recognition and rightly so.  I too am proud to partner with Ultimate Typing because I want to use a first-rate typing software in my homeschool.

There is so much more to Ultimate Typing that you will want to visit Ultimate Typing’s site to take it all in.

One more unique feature though I have to tell you about and that is after completing this program a certificate is issued to you stating that you have successfully completed this comprehensive course.   Knowing that Mr. Awesome will have this skill to add to his high school diploma just makes his future opportunities for employment a bit more aggressive.

learn how to type typing certificate

Who knows maybe the Mr. who refuses to give up his hunt and peck style will give Ultimate Typing a try also.

If I had to change one thing about it, I would change the name of a few of the games.  Some of the games like beat the monster says to type in the magic spells and another one is titled ghosts.  Again, a program of this caliber and high quality doesn’t need to use those title names.  Titles like solve using your detective skills or mystery type games would be just as appealing to learners.  Though there are plenty of other games to choose from, I did want you to know that.

Overall, I am delighted to partner with Ultimate Typing and to tell you about them because they have been committed to not only make learning to type educational, but to make it entertaining.

Ultimate Typing is a program that your family grows into and never outgrows.

Guess what? The folks at Ultimate Typing love giveaways and love educators too. So I will be giving away 2 programs.

Hands On History Kit–South America Unit Study

October 31, 2013 | 35 Comments
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

SP @  Tina&apos;s Dynamic Homeschool Plus

Art In History Kit

When I was planning our hands on activities for our South America unit study, I realized that not so many were fun and age appropriate.  So I was tickled when we got a chance to play with review a fun hands on history kit from Art in History. We chose the Incan empire food vessel kit.

So you know how Tiny got his mom’s lack of art creativity, but it has never hindered us from schooling on the wild side when we set out for an art adventure. The Incan Empire Food Storage Vessel kit helps all novice and expert art adventurers alike because it contains everything you need in one sweet box for each child.

Here is what came in our kit:

  • A replica of a jar from the Incan Empire.
  • Paintbrush, sponge, paint pallet, acrylic paint pods AND
  • FREE lesson plan with background information on the Incan Empire.
World History Ancient Egypt - King Tutankhamun Tomb Frieze (1333- 1324 BC) Middle Eastern Studies - Omani Majmar (100-Present) French Revolution - Limoges Style Tabatiere (1769-1324)
American History Mission of San Antonio De Valero - Alamo Fresco Tiles (1718-1793) American Revolution - Colonial Teapot (1763-1788) English Colonial - Slipware Plate (1650-1800)

 

With so many choices of art projects for world history and American history plus the fact that we can have another excuse to study history longer made us excited about this craft.

We spent several days poring over the lesson plan and tying it in to what we learned so far on our South America unit study.  It is hard to focus on the background information with all the art and craft supplies waiting for Tiny’s itching little hands.

Even though the lesson plan didn’t come with questions and answers or vocabulary words, I am glad because the teacher in me would have been tempted to have him complete all of that before we started.  If you tend to be relaxed on the days you do hands on projects like I am, then you will like the background information provided in the lesson plan and can use it as a read through.

We did an oral narration after we read through it because I wanted our focus to stay on the delight of doing something hands on. After we read it together, I made sure too that Tiny had some kind of idea of how to plan his design which is geometrical for the Incans. Hands on History Kit - Incan Empire South America

The 12 page free lesson plan (wow) has an ample amount of information in it including a color map and color samples (thank you) of how to paint the jar.  Next time when I get a kit, I will hold back the art part of the kit and use the free lesson plan to build our unit study so Tiny doesn’t know about about the art. We stalked our mail man on this one, but I will keep it a secret next time because I didn’t know the free information would be so very helpful in building my unit study.

Discovery Through Creativity

If you wanted to build a more in depth unit study from the free lesson plan received with your kit, you could use the information in several ways:

  • locate the Incan Empire on the map for geography;
  • prepare a vocabulary word puzzle with some of the terms for language arts;
  • create more hands on activities like a quipu (a special knotted string) for art history;
  • focus on understanding the areas like Cuzco and Machu Picchu for history;
  • include some science on understanding the spread of disease like small pox which was introduced to the Incans from the Europeans; and
  • I could see some nature sketches because the Incan people liked to use natural landscapes and simple forms on their pottery.

Regarding the art part of this kit, I loved the fact that the kit comes with the acrylic paint colors that would be used in that time period. Each pod is just the right amount to complete the project and believe me Tiny had to paint it several times or just so until his standard was met.

Warm tones of brown and sepia make up this kit and if you look  at the website, for Art in History you can see that other appropriate colors for that time in history are matched up to to each product.

Of course, you can never go wrong with step by step painting directions too. We need them at our house, but you are probably more artsy than we are.

Hands on History Kit  for Unit Study History Kit

I do like the fact that I was not scrambling to locate all of our art products or pulling buckets tubes of paint that have either gone bad or having to buy new ones because I didn’t have the “right” color in the house at the moment. Just a dab will do you on paint as we have learned over the years so the paint pods are just the right amount and size.

Incan Food Storage Incan Food Storage

The tips such as using a rubber band around your jar and sketching your design first on paper, I found very helpful.

Tiny made his own pattern on paper first too, which consisted of diamonds, circles and lines. Then instead of line drawing on the jar, he painted free hand onto his jar. He didn’t want to use the rubber band or pencil lightly on the jar because it “it might mess it up” according to him.

Our children have different standards for their work at different ages.  And, I have found that the delight is in the process of learning, creating and doing it his way.

But isn’t that what counts? When they are delighted with the end project. (Don’t tell anybody, but Tiny actually put some food in there to see if he could get it out.)

Interdisciplinary Learning – What?

I have to let you know one more thing which has the unit study loving teacher in me excited and that is Art in History has expansive teacher’s guides for unit studies. You know unit study providers which has content laid out can be limited at times. It can be daunting to plan and why reinvent the wheel when we can spend our time doing something else we enjoy. So that is why I am tickled about this new company because their unit studies are laid out in a 4 – 5 day lesson format.

Check out the teacher’s guides at Art in History that are for an in-depth unit study.

This project is a big hands on hit in our home.  Here are some of our other hands on projects too.

Have you Ever Been to a REALLY Big Homeschool Convention? + Giveaway

October 24, 2013 | 38 Comments
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

This Giveaway is Now Closed. The winner is posted at the end of this post. Please remember to follow me here at the blog too to keep with updates.

 

This is a sponsored post and I am proud to be partnering with Great Homeschool Conventions this year because I LOVE their convention philosophy and because I love freebies.

The first time Kelley and I went to a convention alone in San Antonio, Texas, it was a mini vacation. No kids, no husband, no eating, no sleeping, okay…maybe just a little bit of that because we were ready to look shop ALL day.

I can tell you that an online event though helpful especially if you live in no-where-ville doesn’t even come close to attending an event in person if you get the chance to.

It’s almost like trying to spot another homeschool family when you are out during the day. Am  I on the only that does this? You know how sometimes you can tell that they just look like a homeschool family. Its not just because their kids are with them, but something about how they really enjoy being with each other. That is what attending a convention is like except that you have confirmation that everybody there feels the same way you do about homeschooling.

The loud talking, the passing out in aisles because of the sheer volume of curriculum and books that are waiting for me to put my hands on and the amount of curriculum gurus in one area is almost too much for me to take.

Great Homeschool Conventions has more key speakers and more curriculum in one spot than I have ever seen. They are HUGE.

You don’t want to miss out on going to one. It is well worth planning to attend and make it a family vacation. Only homeschoolers would plan their vacation around a homeschool convention.
GHC Registration

But this is not about me today, it’s ALL about you.

So what do I have for you?
Great Homeschool Convention is giving away a family registration.  Here is what the giveaway includes:

1 Family Registration

(& 2 passes to the Family Comedy Night + 1 pass  to the Teen Track)

You decide which location you want to attend. Click on the graphic above to check out each location.

Yes, for the family!!!!

One new thing on their website is that soon a convention will be coming to Texas! Talk about feeling like passing out, I am SO excited. It says not until 2015, but WOW, I can’t wait.

Don’t think you won’t have a chance to win. It can’t hurt to comment and try.

My RULES. Easy, always easy.

Up to 2 Entries. Giveaway ENDS Wednesday, October 30, 2013 @ 9:00 a.m. CST.

You must comment here on this blog post and I have already linked you to this post here. Remember that though I love you mucho, emails to me don’t count. You must comment on this blog post.

I will select a winner using random.org

(Lastly, because we can’t be a once in a lifetime email reader, the winner has 24 hours to claim his/her prize or I will pick another winner.)

That’s its!

I hope you and your family wins! What a great vacation if you do.  I can’t wait to choose the winner. You have until next week to enter this giveaway, so don’t forget.

I am so excited by this giveaway! I’ve never been to a large homeschooling convention. Our state one is pretty small, and our first year was pretty fun, but the one we went to after that was a little different and we haven’t gone back.

Woo-Worthy Big Calendar by NeuYear

September 10, 2013 | 36 Comments
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

Big Calendar

Even when life throws me a few curves, I always have time to drool over new organizing tools for our homeschool area. Because I can never get enough of organizing, I jumped at the chance of reviewing an academic year big wall calendar by NeuYear.

Psssst…. because I don’t want you to miss it, I want you to know right away that I will be hosting another giveaway and it will be for these calendars.  As always at the end of this post, I will give you the details.

Woo-Worthy Big Wall Calendar

First though I have to tell you what I love about this woo-worthy big wall calendar.  I tend to fuss be picky because I want a wall calendar that is not only pretty, but practical.

Then a lot of the big wall calendars that I have used before tend to be bulky and heavy. It’s almost like having another honey do project because I normally can’t hang one by myself.  The wall calendar I will end up using the most will be one that is a DIY when it comes to hanging it.

Right away when I received my shipment in a nice sturdy container tube, I could see that it was not only lightweight, but durable and laminated to use with dry erase markers. That was the first sign that this calendar was a keeper.

Too, you know I told you my house is almost upside down because we are making some changes. So my command center or area that I had in the kitchen is not there anymore. I was kind of suffering withdrawal from not having one organized spot in my home at the moment.

How To Be a Transient Organizer

On top of that I am trying to line out classes for Mr. Senior 2013,  juggle doctor’s appointments for the Mr. and keep our school going so I was feeling a bit defeated in looking over my whole plan at a year’s glance until I got this calendar. I knew right away what I wanted to do with it and how I wanted to use it to organize. I would create a temporary command center so that everybody can see at a glance what is planned.

003
Temporary Command Center @ Tina&apos;s Dynamic Homeschool PLus

I grabbed some gift wrapping paper I had and covered a foam board. Then I used some  washi tape and covered some clothes pin.  It took literally 15 minutes to make a temporary command center and bring some instant organizing awwww to my homeschool and life for the year.

I love, love the fact that the calendar is so lightweight that I can just use clothes pins to hold it up, not to mention that I am using lightweight foam board as my backdrop. I have put this in my school area for now, but I can pick it up and move it to another part of the house as I make changes in my home.

Of course, it helps that my new NeuYear calendar is a smokin’ hot color because I love turquoise/aqua, any shade of it and gray.  The beauty of the NeuYear calendar lies in how simple, but elegant and uncluttered the design is. I don’t want the design to compete with whatever design or colors I may want to use in my area.

I know you have seen those calendars with tons of heavy designing and graphics. I tend to steer clear because sometimes what you see online is not how it looks when it arrives. With this calendar, what you see is what you get.

Too, a command center is a place for the whole family to glance at without being overwhelmed by design clutter or heavy color.  The doctor’s appointments, our homeschool routine, field trips and our classes should stay center stage as the appointments are what is important to focus on. It is easy to find my appointments because they stay clear and sharp with NeuYear’s clean and chic design.

Why I Love the NeuYear Big Wall Calendar

Review of NeuYear Calendar 2 @ Tina&apos;s Dynamic Homeschool Plus

But I have not even gotten to the best parts of  this calendar. You would think a calendar is just a calendar, but there are several reasons I am loving this one and taking time to tell you about it.

  • Besides being lightweight, this calendar can be placed either  vertical or horizontal. Yes, it’s double-sided. Does that mean it’s like getting two calendars for the price of one? I am using it vertically, but I love knowing I have options when I decide to give it a permanent resting home.
big calendar Neu Year
  • The next thing that has me loving this unique design is that there are no spaces or gaps in between the months. Yes, NO wasted space or date confusion.
  • The grid is nice and big enough to write in. I received the laminated calendar to use with dry erase markers which I prefer instead of the paper one. You may like their other calendar which is a regular paper surface.
Big Calendar
  • The other thing I like about this laminated calendar and tell me if I am the only one that does this, but I use post it notes/sticky tabs for some of my recurring events or appointments. I just move the tabs like hubby’s Dr. appointments as I need to instead of always writing in the space. So I am tickled that the boxes are just the perfect size and not too big for my tabs.
Review of NeuYear Calendar 4 @ Tina&apos;s Dynamic Homeschool Plus
  • When it comes to long term planning, appointments and deadlines, I have learned something new about myself with this review and that is how much I love this big wall calendar. My command area in my kitchen was on my kitchen bar. It was small, but had a  decent size  calendar to lay on my countertop.  I realized how much the boys have been coming to this and glancing at it rather then flipping open my family calendar.  Too, I love everything about looking at our school year at a glance and knowing that my boys don’t have to crack open my curriculum planner that I prefer to just keep as mine. Hubby can see what is going on with us too.

Using the right tools to make every day an awwww organizing day even on a temporary basis without being tedious is not an easy feat. If you want a simple but elegant, clutter free calendar, then NeuYear calendars are a perfect option.

For all those organizational gurus and techies, I list below the measurement and facts at a glance for you. Also, remember to sign up for their newsletter to see their latest updates. I have that below too.
