Home = Education Conference Photo Album
Page 1
Dateline: 8/28/99
By Ann Zeise
I had a great time at the Home=Education
Conference in Sacramento the weekend of August 20-23. Got
to meet so many of my online buddies, fellow homeschool web wonks,
and favorite homeschooling writers. This is my photo album. I
have spread it over several pages.
I will not be sponsoring the Online Buddies Lunch at the California
Home = Education conference in 2001. It has been fun, but since
just about everyone has email and is on lists or participating
in online forums, the lunch sort of lost its point, since every
social event at the conference will be an "online buddies"
event!
Friday Night at the Ice Cream
Social
Mary Griffith
Mary was at the conference to speak
about unschooling. She explained what "interest-initiated
learning" and "child-led learning" meant to those
who were struggling to believe such a method could really work,
but knew that packaged curricula weren't for them.
Mary is the author of:
The
Homeschooling Handbook : From Preschool to High School, a Parent's
Guide
and
The
Unschooling Handbook : How to Use the Whole World As Your Child's
Classroom

These three worked hard making the Homefront Hall on AOL's
homeschool forum something special, (or hung out there so a lot!)
but left in the recent exodus. You may know them as:
Felicitas (Nancy),
KaeKaeB (Lisa) and Barbooch
(Barb). All traveled far to meet their online buddies. Nancy
came from Southern California, Lisa from Alabama, and Barb from
Washington. All are now working to make NHEN
a force in the national homeschool movement.
