Tip: Online summer courses for Catholics

Next tip from AmP reader Maureen:

"Have you been wondering how to get your teens excited about all things Catholic? Homeschool Connections is offering online summer classes for all Catholic high school students (home, public, or private educated) that will keep them engaged and learning over the summer. There are even one or two that will help prepare graduating seniors for college. 

Homeschool Connections uses webinar technology so students can see and hear the professor via a webcam and mic in addition to his Power Point presentation. In turn students can communicate with the class through chat or their own microphone. Teens love the technology, making learning all the more enjoyable. Be

cause this is done over the Internet, participation can take place anyplace -- in the kitchen, at the library, on vacation. Additionally, each class is recorded and accessible to students for 6 months. All courses are taught with a focus on the Catholic perspective. It's a great deal for the dollar. For details, visit http://www.homeschoolconnectionsonline.com (use the scroll bar to see all courses) or email Maureen Wittmann, mwittlans@aol.com.

Some of the courses are taught by Dr. Henry Russell, a former professor of mine. Your children are in the best of care with him. All the teachers are completely loyal to the teachings of the Catholic Church.

Oh, and for those of you looking for little Amp tidbits - I'm a proud product of home education.
