Last possibility to buy CyberEd.

Such a great product, I thought we would use it for years and years to come At least we still have till Dec 2009, hopefully by then DS6 will have finished the Earth Science (which we've been doing since September), Life Science, and Physical Science.

I cannot say enough good things about CyberEd. This is the very last chance to get a subscription for one year. Don't miss it. It's worth every penny.

I am off to CyberEd to place my order.

Could someone who has used the Life Science, Earth Science or Physical Science courses give me a rough idea of how much time it takes to complete these courses?

I'm interested in purchasing one or more but don't want to buy all three if we won't be able to get through them before the subscriptions expire.

Thanks.

My dd at 7 did the physical science and life science last year- both were finished before Christmas, though I can't recall exactly how many weeks they took. She did one after the other, so they were not concurrent. You should be fine with a year for all three.

I think they are great courses, btw.

Thanks for the httrack software idea. I used it and it seems to work quite well. Only thing was that it looks like that cyber learning site is probably very large so I stopped it after about 5 minutes. I should probably check to see to what max depth the learning links go to and then run it again. I'm a little low on space on this computer.

Any idea how much longer that particular learning website will be up before it's took down?

Following up on the post from QUESTIONS a while back, is there any news on a zip file of the teacher resources?

AJ

Yes, I just noticed today that the Life Science Teacher Resources are zipped on their website. Not all of them are, but maybe they're in process.

FYI, from Homeschool Buyers Co-Op:



I wouldn't put it past them.

And for those of you who didn't notice, they did zip their teachers resources materials on www.cybered.net .

What was in the zipped files? Web pages?

Oh, yay! I hope they do!

I went ahead and reordered through Dec. 2009 two of the classes that we have until May 2009 because I wanted to be sure we got to use them. (I think we'll finish Earth and Science before then...at least, that's the plan!) But I would love to have access to the Biology and Chemistry classes for high schoolers when he's ready for them.

Fingers crossed!

Looks like they are going to continue the subscription model. I was thinking I could throw the content up on a server. But if they are trying to turn a profit off the content, that wouldn't fly.
