We are close to shipping the most efficient, life-simplifying, and executive function training tool ever!
For busy families who need to stay connected to handle all afterschool activities and homework. (Because we all know Google’s family calendar does not work)
For parents who received an eyeroll the one time homework had indeed been done. (Who needs eyerolls?)
For parents who have a full schedule in between their own meetings and the reminders for kid homework and activities. (Because information overload IS a thing)
For school children who need help staying on top of their tasks and help planning those month-long projects. (Who needs to hear at the dinner table that a long history report is due tomorrow?)
And for homeschooling families, a whole-school planning and management tool, to keeps attendance, syllabus, grades… all in one place. (Because nobody likes paperwork and admin).
An executive function coach. One place for all family events. The app version of the kitchen’s big family calendar.
Stay tuned. Learnadoodle is soon coming to the rescue!
For modern families. By parents. Children approved.
And if you like tinkering and want to beta test with us, we are a DM away.
Welcome to the club! We taught ours critical thinking, looking at everyone’s perspective, we helped her feed her natural curiosity by going down rabbit holes, we travelled and learned history through museum visits, we taught her to have her own opinions and taste. We made sure she learned to write (and won awards!) and she truly developed a passion for learning that will serve her all her life. And she learned to cope with her dyslexia.
Nothing would have been possible on public or private school (we had tried both). She is now off to college because she wants to build spaceships. I am so proud of the young adult she has become.
Homeschooling admin can be a pain though, so I am building the planner I wish I had had. One that helps you teach them executive functioning skills and saves you time on admin. Beta testing is open at https://t.co/DCsFm8QNbz if you wish to try.
Best wishes on your endeavors!
We are working on a solution that will not only help you plan (that product we are about to launch) but over time will incorporate more AI to crwate curriculum and exercises. And we are doing our best to keep all biases out of the conversation. We are happy to share the beta if you are interested
Went with my kid to see the red moon today. Seeing the world again for the first time through their eyes, be it a full red moon or a woodpecker! That is one of the many joys of being a parent.
We’re getting close to opening Learnadoodle for beta testing.
Right now we’re ironing out glitches, recording short videos, and getting the first set of functions ready for real families before the academic year starts.
If you want to test an early version, reply BETA.
@bethanyshondark LOL. Yes!! I remember packing lunches with dismay. The morning battle to get my kid to school on time without risking tardys, teying to not drive irresponsibly when you are late to pick them up… I can keep going…
@DiaryofaSickGrl I asked the pediatrician what should i bring with me on a long flight with my then infant.
Her answer: a change of clothes for you.
Caught me by surprise, I was expecting something for the baby.
The message and advice: take care of yourself, mummy. Your mask goes on first.
True! But even while homeschooling, highschool comes with so many demands, dictated by college applications and college, and exploration suffers. The more flexible time is by far middle school. The education system does not really demand a lot of content: students could donso much more. We used this to our advantage, learning programming, robotics, participating in writing competitions, doing deep dives on topics of interest. What a terrific time to homeschool and take advantage of this flexibility! Or to go to Alpha school and explore away!
The opposite is true as well, homeschool kids that are so far advanced they don’t fit in the classroom. Transitions are difficult. Always. But it is not a homeschool - general school exclusive problem. It is a Montessori to non-Montessori change, a French school vs not, Waldorf vs not. Basically switching between education plans has an adjustment and may require patching holes. Parents who homeschool just for a few years are often aware of the transiton and try to cover the same materials to ease the process. What am I missing?
JUST IN🚨: NASA released a new Mars image showing real clouds 250 million miles away. These include rare iridescent clouds seen for the first time on another planet.
So cool! Show this to your kids! It is almost like magic that we could see how neurons develop pathways.
What I always told my kid: this is why we learn. Because when something is difficult or scary but we try a few times, even if we fail, our brain builds the bridges needed to be ready next time. So a few failed attempts are what we need to then succeed.
Your thoughts are not abstract ideas floating in your head. They are built from real physical connections that neurons form and strengthen.
This timelapse shows neurons reaching out and wiring up new links in real time.
The science behind it:
@tega_ebi Which is why we would all be better served if kids were asked to read full books rather than excerpts. There is a magic in reading and getting your ear accustomed to great writing and sentences.
Cool! We are building something that solves that problem. Basically a planner with different access levels, so grandparents could have access to all relevant things for a weekend (with homework, etc). And they can mark things as done so you dont have to ask all the time. An AI native school/ family planner for shared workflows. We are beta testing soon, if anyone dares to try!
@signulll Why can't I go to bed dirty? What's so important about being clean?
I am dirty today. I'll be dirty again. Why bother to bath in between?
(A poem I must have read over a hundred times to my then little girl.)
