Free Computer & Gaming Coding Courses from Microsoft

Free Computer & Game Development Courses with MicrosoftI have a high schooler who is interested in coding, and a middle schooler who is interested in graphic design. While I was browsing potential programs for them, I found out about Microsoft Virtual Academy, a place for learning coding for computers and for games (Microsoft owns Windows and X Box, after all).

Courses are divided into areas of interest such as: game development, database development, web development, etc.

The courses that I browsed were split into several learning modules, clearly marked for time needed, and were delivered via video.  The courses are free, and membership (or sign-in) is not  required.

See if this is a good fit for your high schooler, college kid, or for yourself, at Microsoft Virtual Academy.

Balancing Homeschooling while Working From Home

At times, well-intentioned advice suggests that dedicating an entire day to homeschooling leaves no room for a job during regular hours. This is not necessarily so. My husband and I owned a garden center for a few years while also homeschooling. After that, I had an online business while homeschooling. We did not “only work … Read More about Balancing Homeschooling and Working From Home – a Realistic Approach
