Using Digital Curriculum to Stretch Your Budget
Homeschooling can be expensive but homeschooling parents can be very resourceful in stretching their budget. Using digital curriculum, and other digital resources can be a great way to stretch your budget.
Digital Resources Are More Affordable
We don’t all have the ability to store every book we want and/or need for our homeschool. By using e-books you can buy more e-books at a lower price point, and without worry of having to store them. Which is a win-win for our budget and for our home.
Digital curriculum is often more affordable than a full hard-copy printed curriculum. It can be used on any device, computer, or tablet giving you freedom of movement through your home. It also gives you the freedom to take school on the road.
You can also choose to print only what you want/need. Without needing to print any at all. You can use it completely as digital as most are intended to be used.
You’ll also want to look into free homeschool curriculum options.
Reusable
The best thing about using digital in your homeschool is that it can be reused it from child to child. No more having to buy more consumable workbooks each time one of my children as they move on to new grades.
You won’t have to store curriculum in your home waiting for it to be used again in two years. You can save the digital curriculum either on your laptop, in your Google Drive, or an external hard-drive. This is taking less space, and you won’t accidentally donate, sell, or throw something out that you’ll need, just don’t delete it.
