Has anyone used Sevenstar's Academy? How about United Streaming?

A friend of mine is looking at it. Is it any good? Is it college prep material?

How about United Streaming? How do you incorporate into your homeschool?

more. It's been well worth the money!

How do you use it? Is it a supplement or a full course?

United Streaming is a wonderful supplement. It is a huge library of on-demand educational streaming videos, on average about 20 minutes long (but some are up to an hour long).

When I plan, I search our up-coming topics, preview videos and note them in my lesson plans. For example, our current American history topic is nineteenth century arts and literature. We are watching videos on Longfellow, Thoreau, Melville, Audubon, etc., after reading their works and excepts.

In addition to history, we also use it in science and grammar, and I plan to use it for art history. We may do the Elementary Spanish program.

I keep finding new things on the site. It's been an excellent resource.

BTW, someone told me that you can get a large discount if you sign up through Homeschool Co-op (I'm not sure if that's the right name, but it's close).

We watched a good video on United Str. called "Slave Ship" that fit nicely with Abraham Lincoln's World which we read today about the Amistad.

I think you could use it as a full course by getting a table of contents of a history, science, etc. book and finding videos to go along with it without actually reading a book. Many of the videos have quizzes, tests and worksheets you can print & use.
