	Description:		We all know how the internet is both a blessing and a curse. Never before have homeschoolers been able to access the sheer amount of information at the touch of a button in real time. The internet has made homeschooling much easier, and social media has allowed for homeschooling parents across the world to connect and share tips, successes, and failures. The hosts of this very podcast met on Periscope, and Homeschooling in the Northwoods is made possible every week with the help of Skype, Voxer, WordPress, Instagram, and Facebook. Are your kids online? The online world doesn’t just stop at information. It’s a tool for connection, and kids are looking for that connection to.
