I appreciate the “intentionality” of using technology. All technology is not bad, but it needs to be purposefully used. Thank you.

I'd love to see the previous episode about screentime, is there a link posted for that one?

[@SimplyCharlotteMason]

Thanks for reaching out with your question! Here is the link for the episode on screentime: simplycharlottemason.com/blog/screen-time/

As I was listening, I was thinking that during our study of the Middle Ages, my 4,6 and 9 year old have been observing fashion development. Some through RUclips, some through coloring pages. Today we listened to a piece of pre-baroque dances whilst driving, and they were able to tell me what type of dress, shoes, headgear, hairstyle, they would be wearing if they went to a dance of that era. All thanks to technology!

Thanks for sharing, this is a great point and an example of a wonderful use of technology to gain information about another time period!

This is very in line with how we use technology in our homeschool. My kids are teenagers now and have used technology to aid them, especially my child with dyslexia.
Additionally, audiobooks and the ability to change the fonts of some of the PDF versions of older books to dyslexie font has been invaluable to him.

Thank you for sharing what has worked well for your family and in specific for your student with dyslexia! Technology can be such a valuable tool and it is so helpful for other families to hear what has worked well for your student with dyslexia.

Love the comparison of VR to the View Master. My kids got one (to share) for Christmas and it's still a beloved toy!

[@SimplyCharlotteMason]

Thank you for joining us and sharing what your family has enjoyed!

Spot on when Sonya spoke of the camera angles always changing....that is so bothersome. I don't believe it's good for our brains.

Thanks for joining us and sharing your thoughts on this topic!

Hi! I tried purchasing the Our Preschool Life but there’s no Philippines in the choices, do you ship here?

[@SimplyCharlotteMason]

Hi, Thank you for reaching out with your question! "Our Preschool Life" does not ship internationally. Here are some resources for the early years: simplycharlottemason.com/planning/preschool-guide/
