GRAY, TN, February 04, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- The Old Schoolhouse (TOS) and popular unit-study expert Amanda Bennett rolled out the first four weekly E-learning units of the new Download N Go Series. The January titles: Winter Wonders, Amelia Earhart, Australia, and Valentine's Day, lead the way, while 34 more high-interest titles in various stages of development are expected to follow. Each week in the series delivers an exciting new topic to discover!
As the busy spring buying season approaches, Download N Go brings a fresh, new resource to integrate into the next school year. Designed for kids from K - 4th grade and their busy moms, it's a fabulous way to start off the new homeschool semester. Even those doing year-round homeschooling can jump in at any time with this easy-to-use, hands-on series.
Called the "next generation of unit studies," the Download N Go units are short, weekly unit studies that include daily lessons and lapbook instructions woven together with eye-pleasing pages and interactivity, ready for immediate use—very different from other unit study and lapbooking products on the market.
Amanda Bennett (www.unitstudy.com) is well known for her groundbreaking unit studies that are popular with homeschooling families around the world. She explains more about the project:
"We've been listening to homeschoolers' suggestions. Many have mentioned their search for an easy-to-use, ready-to-go unit study but wished that it would include a lapbook. When the opportunity came to work with the TOS team to create a brand new kind of product—where the elements of unit study learning were merged with the hands-on learning and fun of creating lapbooks— I knew that this was the right direction and jumped at the chance. Presto—we've got quite a treasure in our new series, and we're all very excited . . ."
Diving into the new series, the team took the best parts of both kinds of curriculum and created an original kind of study. The Download N Go Series of E-Books:
• Are downloadable and instantly ready to GO—no other books are required (though recommendations are provided).
• Integrate the construction of a lapbook into each daily lesson, step by step.
• Are simple to use but complete in content.
• Require no expensive resources and are non-consumable.
• Utilize a variety of multimedia selections—hyperlinks are embedded right in the study.
• Provide a resource list for optional further study.
Kids are fascinated with these units, finding colorful "wow factors" with many high-interest activities on every page. Each title is reasonably priced at $7.95. However, the more weeks you purchase up front, the more you can save. Plus, there are free gifts to be enjoyed! For more information, go to: http://www.downloadngo.com
Homeschoolers who think they don't have time to try out unit studies and lapbooking right now should think again. Step outside the boredom box and into a fun learning experience! Go for learning. Go for fun. Go for adventure! Just Download N Go .
