Hello all, My name is Crystal Sharp and I am currently a graduate student at Regent University in Virginia. I am a product of homeschooled education from K-8, small private education 9-10 and huge public education from 11-12. I'm enrolled in a "tutorial" class this summer that is much like homeschooling in that I've created my own curriculum and have assigned myself a paper topic. I am only guided by a "tutor," a professor at the university. The subject of my research is the use of internet in homeschooling, specifically the use of collective or individual blogging. I would be grateful if you would fill out the following survey: 1. What is your relationship to the children? 2. How many children, what ages? 3. How long have you been homeschooling? 4. How do you use the internet for educational purposes? 5. Do you limit the amount of time the children are on the computer (even for educational purposes)? 6. Are you familiar with blogs? What is your perception of blogs? 7. Do any of the children have blogs? If they expressed interest, would you permit them to have a blog? If so, under what circumstances? 8. Do you think individual blogs could be useful to homeschooled individuals or the homeschooling community? 9. Do you think community blogs could be useful to homeschooled individuals or the homeschooling community? 10. May I contact you with further research questions? Please provide your e-mail address: Thank you for your time and consideration, Crystal Sharp Regent University
