For the past three years I have been working for Homeschool Connections, which is an online Catholic homeschooling company that provides web classes that are interactive (not the old forum type stuff from when I was in college). I've plugged them before on this blog (for example, here and here), and some of you have even signed up for HSC classes as a result of this blog, so I am not going to go on and on here plugging them. However, I do want to do a bit of advertising for a special free trial period they are offering through the Feast of Epiphany (January 8th).
If you are curious to see how a Homeschool Connections class is set up and how it operates, you can click this link to watch the recordings of my Modern American History class entirely free. After you click the link, scroll down until you see where the individual classes are listed and watch the recordings; so, for Week 1 on the Reconstruction, click "Recording: Class One." After going through a couple of prompts you will be able to watch the recorded class. This is open for free until January 8th.
Speaking of Homeschool Connections, I am currently working on a DVD project for them. Without divulging too much information, let me just post the two pilots. The first one, on the origin of Christian monasticism, is a little bit rough - the final version will have some different voice overs and some of the shots will be cut shorter. Here is part one:
Here is Part 2 on the Benedictine Rule, which in my opinion is a much better video (I was unable to embed this one, so click here for the link). Please note that these videos are practically complete, so if you have any feedback, please do not suggest a bunch of changes - they are practically done and nothing is really going to be changed at this point. Any critiques should be in the vein of what future videos should feature (or not feature) rather than what should be changed about these two.
Blessed Christmas Octave!
