New Homeschool flavored search engine
New Homeschool flavored search engine
HomeschoolBuzz.com is launching a Homeschool flavored, Google custom search engine. What is homeschool flavor? Some say it tastes like chicken but it’s actually a Google custom search limited to only homeschooling related sites and pages. You can search hundreds of homeschool sites, blogs, articles, vendors and resources to get search results with a homeschool focus.
If I left out some of your favorite sites, it was unintentional. I can only add a site if I know about it. I want them ALL! That’s where you come in…
Leave a comment to tell me about the homeschool sites I missed. You can also send a list of sites yourself. I’m sure there are hundreds of them. The only requirement is that the site is homeschool focused or an educational resource that could be used by homeschoolers. The list is not limited by politics, religion or educational philosophy, only topic. (Search for the site’s name to see if it’s included.)
(NOTE: Earlier, I requested contributors but this is hard for me to manage so please comment to leave info about sites you want included. I usually add them quickly.)
I also implemented a search plug-in for Firefox or ie7.
Google provides a way you can put the search box on your blog or site or add it to your Google homepage (iGoogle).
Try it out. Tell me what you think.
http://www.ha-nc.org
I added ha-nc. Actually, the whole topic of support groups is a good one. I should add a huge list of local and national groups.
haven’t had a chance to look at it yet, but cool! or kewl, rather.
This new search might be really useful. It will be fun to watch it develop and grow.
Maybe add two sites by a homeschool mom.
http://www.abasiccurriculum.com/homeschool/
Homeschool RAQ
and
Huge list of Latin and Greek Roots online also by homeschool mom:
http://www.abasiccurriculum.com/homeschool/roots/
Buncha Roots
I just added abasiccurriculum.com/homeschool/ and everything under homeschool including /roots.
Keep the suggestions coming and volunteer to help.
http://www.bridgebuilderacademy.com is a home-school school in Plano, TX that sends state certified teachers to students in their homes using home-school curriculum!
http://www.pathhomeschool.com
http://www.fltnc.com

A cool homeschool forum: http://homeschool-talk.com/index.php.
The homeschool search engine is a great idea! Please make sure http://www.knowledgehouse.info is on the list of searched sites. It contains over 600 pages of original homeschool articles and helpful resources, all written and maintained by a homeschool mom.
I’ve been adding most (if not all of the links inthese comments. Keep them coming!
I also welcomed 3 volunteer contributors. Thanks.

As an HSB blogger I was intrigued to see homeschooljournal.org, and clicked to the site. It redirects to http://www.applytoschools.com/. Is this correct?? Or is the HSJ site out of commission?
Thanks,
Sally
Oops, I meant to say we included homeschooljournal.NET which is a homeschool focused blog platform. I do not have homeschooljounral.org in the list because (as you pointed out) it redirects to some other site.
I corrected the reference on our about page.
http://momisteaching.com Is a good homeschooling support blog
Please add http://www.love2learn.net

When I do a search for “Indiana homeschool” one of the first things I see are sites that advertise charter public school. I feel this may confuse folks who may be seeking information on homeschooling. Virtual charter public school is NOT homeschooling.
Hi, just found your site, and would love to be more a part of it. I run two sites that might be of interest…
http://www.allinfoaboutreading.com
and
http://sandyfleming.info
aka ‘the learning nook’. If you have questions or need further information, please let me know. You can find me at reading@allinfoaboutreading.info
Here is an Online Homeschool Newspaper for my homeschooling community. I believe it is one of the few (if not only) online homeschool newsletter out there.
http://yourstudentnews.com/hcchs/
It is published monthly. Occasionally we will publish submitted articles from homeschoolers outside of the community.
