CD-ROM

• Let the computer do the teaching with self-directed CD-ROMs. Plan your curriculum using CD-ROMs for one or more subjects. Some curricula offer CD-ROM for every subject while others offer enrichment courses such as art or music. Use CDs for subjects that require extra practice such as math or keyboarding skills. Learning games on CD-ROM helps reinforce concepts taught in core teaching.
  
  

Educational Games

• Online educational games offer opportunities to improve cognitive skills. Children enhance problem-solving ability while setting personal challenges for higher levels. They develop computer navigational skills as they advance through various levels. Computers enhance hand/eye coordination and fine motor skills as well as reflexive response and finger dexterity. Another benefit is noticeable improvement in keyboarding skills.
  
  

Grammar

• By using spell check and grammar checkers, students quickly recognize spelling errors, poor sentence construction, and grammatical errors. Computer grammatical hints assist students in making corrections. As students continually see the same mistakes, they learn to correct them in the future. A home educator should proofread the student's work because computer grammar checkers are not completely foolproof. Even if the computer makes a minor error, the educator can point out grammatical concepts to master that the computer may not catch.
  
  

Personal Blog

• Children learn while taking ownership of the development of a personal blog. They learn responsibility by making regular updates to their site. Posting on their blog helps them develop communication and writing skills, according to Blog Connection. They will also learn grammar skills such as spelling and proofreading, while simultaneously mastering keyboarding skills. Additionally, they gain valuable technology skills such as graphics and video.
  
  

Research

• Students use the computer to perform research for all subjects. They gain experience using various search engines, which leads them to the desired information. The search engines offer many different sources on one topic, which expands the student's knowledge base.
