Barnabas Way (the blog) has been chugging along since the beginning of the year and hopefully you’ve had an opportunity to get to know us a little bit. We are gearing up to create a community of families interested in banding together to improve their homeschool. In order for everything to be ready for the 2009 – 2010 school year, we need to get going pretty soon. That way we have all summer to work the kinks out.
We want to create a place where parents can get help with questions and encouragement. We want to provide an online opportunity for kids to meet other homeschool students in a controlled environment. We want allow isolated homeschools the connectivity available through the Internet. We want to enable technically challenged homeschools to gain the skills and confidence to be responsible and fully capable Internet citizens. We also want to build relationships and share our collective journey with one another.
We plan to make Barnabas Way all those things, and also to hear ideas and suggestion brought forward and see what we can do about that as well. Sound good? Well what can you do? Here are a couple of suggestions:
1. You can comment on a blog post. Just click the link at the bottom of the post that says “Comments” and fill in the message box with your thought, ideas, suggestions, reactions, or questions. A blog is a great way to interact with people through the comments. You can put your input up on the web attached to our blog post.
2. You can sign up for community updates by filling out the form at the top of the page with your name and e-mail address. We will then be able to get in touch with you and let you know when new blog posts come out or when something exciting is happening.
3. You can keep coming back to see what’s being talked about in the blog. We keep adding new information all the time. That’s the beauty of a blog, it’s always being updated by new articles, thoughts, and tidbits. So be sure to mark this site as a favorite and stay informed.
4. If you are real savvy and know what an RSS feed is all about, you could click on the RSS icon and subscribe to our feed. If you don’t know what that’s all about. You really need to do one of the other options, because it’s stuff like that and how they can be used by you and your homeschool that we’ll be all over here at Barnabas Way.
So consider loading up your U-haul and moving to our virtual neighborhood…
