  • 7 Ways You Know It's Time to Upgrade from Manual Transcripts

    If you are still trying to create a transcript manually using a spreadsheet, you owe it to yourself to listen to this podcast! I graduated my first homeschooler in 2007, and I tried to do a transcript manually and it was a nightmare! When I found Transcript Maker, I was thrilled! It simplified my responsibilities in creating transcripts and eased my mind. Great podcast!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

193: Understanding Learning Styles
Q: What are learning styles and why should you pay attention to them in homeschooling?
Learning styles are the preferred ways individuals take in information (visual, auditory, reading/writing, kinesthetic). Paying attention to them helps tailor teaching, reduces resistance, improves engagement, and guides curriculum choices to fit each child, while still encouraging broader learning approaches.
191: The Top 10 Things To Do Before Starting Your School Year
Q: How can I know if I'm spending too much time or too little time on a subject in a day?
Time needs vary by age and interest; for younger children, short micro-lessons work best, and as kids get older, allow longer periods for in-depth projects and follow their cues to avoid rushing them.
190: Life After Homeschooling
Q: How do you handle it when a younger sibling is performing better academically than an older one?
They share that they reassess by avoiding direct level comparisons, focus on each child's strengths, and adapt methods to meet individual needs, while maintaining confidence and celebrating progress.
188: Teaching Math As An Unschooler
Q: Is there a single right way to teach math in an unschooling approach?
No; math can be individualized and taught in many different styles. The important part is supporting the child's needs, leveraging real-life contexts, and exposing them to math concepts as they arise in daily life.
188: Teaching Math As An Unschooler
Q: What should you teach your child beyond the basics, and how do you balance extracurriculars with core subjects?
Focus on independent and social skills, physical movement, arts, foreign language, and home management tasks, and rotate subjects to keep interest high; transcript relevance can be maintained by including practical experiences like family responsibilities and real-world projects.
