HISTORY: Moving Map of U.S.

"Growth of a Nation" is a ten minute animated movie of American history from 1789.
Here is the link to the site: American History: "Growth of a Nation."


This is an excellent 10 minute audio/visual presentation that takes a quick look at American History!  Click PLAY @ the top not "Go" at the bottom.


The speaker has a speech impediment (an audible lisp) but does a great job! I think that he is a good role model for any child with less than perfect speech!

The presentation is very user friendly. It can easily be paused, rewound or fast forwarded. By hovering over different regions of the map one can click for added information.

Note: There is an add (for purchase of the "enhanced version") that popped up for me at the 1959 mark.

Greetings!

Did you know that you can download Barnes & Noble's Nook as well as Amazon's Kindle applications free to your computer, i-Pad, and more? Did you also know that an increasing number of Catholic and classic books are being made available as e-books? Many are offered at a percentage of the price of bound books and some are even offered free.

Did you also know that many public libraries now offer free lending of e-books? (Kindle to be available in a few months.)

Below are links to Catholic homeschooling books, Catholic classics, and homeschooling textbooks that are available free or inexpensively as e-books.

We also include some of the free e-books that can be used in Homeschool Connections's online courses. We hope you enjoy perusing all the possibilities.

God Bless,
