As I looked over the top 10 Homeschooling with Technology episodes in 2020, I thought some of you might be interested in what they were.
If you have never listened to the podcast, these episodes are a good place to start! New episodes drop each Wednesday and you can find the podcast wherever you usually listen to podcasts or online at HomeschoolingWithTechnology,com. All the previous episodes are listed in chronological order here.
Many FundaFunda Academy teachers make guest appearances, so this is a good way to know who we all are – and I am the host. We also have other guests who know more than I do in different areas.
So, here’s the top 10 list, starting in 10th place and working our way up to 1st place!
