Hi,
I am “mostly” a CM educator, having geared off course just a bit through the years. I still plan to use our Sonlight Core for the living books for history/geography since we have been following their course of history from the beginning with my now 7th grade daughter. I like very much what I see with the online organizer. It looks like it would work very well with the way I like to schedule (even though I have the Sonlight schedule in the IG) because I can just transfer those chapters from that guide over to the online planner and then add it all my other subjects that we pull from other sources. Just that this way, I have all the subjects scheduled in one place on the computer.
But then I came across the book/DVD planner. Is there a reason I need both or is that for folks that wouldn’t want it online? Can you compare the two or tell me advantages one has above the other?
Am I correct in saying it work this way? If I do the trial now and I go through and put in all the rest of the books that we need to complete for this year (since that is about 30 days worth), I can, each night, print out the next day’s schedule for my daughter. She then marks off what she’s done. I take her page and go to my computer that evening and reflect those on the computer (or she can do that if I decide to let her) and then it updates everything for me to print the next day. And that I do need to print it daily for that day? It won’t show the next few days work? I ask that because some days we like to read ahead in a book or two to allow for our homeschool co-op day. How would that work if it doesn’t show the next few days assignments in advance?
And if I do the trial now and decide it does work for us, will my information be stored there when I decide to subscribe to it for the next year (say this summer)? When the subscription is about to terminate, do you get a reasonable time notice?
Thanks so much! I know that’s alot of questions. I’m just trying to file all of this away in my brain and make sure I am understanding it correctly before I dive in and begin a trial to see how it works. 🙂
Blessings,
Tammy
