A friend forwarded me an response from www.sheppardsoftware.com. They offer free educational software to educators. She e-mailed to see if they consider home educators in that category....and yes, they welcome us!!! They also ask for everyone to forward this information to other educators we might know.
I can forward the instrutions for downloads, or you can go to www.sheppardsoftware.com and take a look. If you chose to go to the site, you will need to send an e-mail as an educator requesting the codes for the free downloads. A quick list includes SAT Crash Course, College Admissions Predictor, Presidents-Mania, States-Mania, Astro-Mania, Brain Builder math and vocabulary games, math puzzles, algebra games with many levels, and more.
I haven't looked at all of them, but the ones I've seen are pretty good and my oldest is enjoying them, especially the one you drag and drop the states to the correct location (without any state outlines). They have multiple levels of difficulty and I can see being able to use most of these for a looooooong time.
As I said, I am willing to forward the download instructions to save everyone some time.....or if a moderator can tell me if it is okay to post, I will post the message I received. Enjoy! :cool:
