How do I organize? Badly, and in my own idiosyncratic manner, I fear. Which is why we didn't go this route, quite honestly. I was just not good at doing it aggressively enough. People I've known IRL who have done it, though, keep capstone "projects" or documentation of them (multimedia, digital photos, etc) on a yearly basis, updating the master files every so often with new additional material. There is also often a "notebook" that documents day-to-day activities in a more cursory manner-- but basically shows what the student spent time doing.

Test scores, etc. are also a part of that notebook (digital photos may be formatted and included along with url info to a youtube video or other online source of the full presentation, as appropriate.

Thank you!

I really need to start doing this - although to be honest in SA I have heard of only two people within our basic homeschooling circle who have been "checked up on" (and this despite the fact that more than 95% of South African homeschoolers are not registered (long boring story).

And for activities etc there is such a huge focus on age here that I doubt anything I did or said or showed would prove much of a consideration.

I would do it more for future planning, when the boys want to start doing formalised courses.
