Hello,
I am *thinking* again/still/maybe about using Beyond for my DD6 next year and I was wondering if there are any Australians out there (Corrie?!) who have used Beyond and what Australian history books you have used either as a substitute for the American history ones or alongside them? I do like the look of the American ones... I think I would still use them as they were Godly men and women, and it doesn't really matter what their nationality was. I would like to add in some Australian history too, though.
Thanks! Nicole

No, there are others. Maybe using different level programs than you are asking about though.

Hi Anne,
my response to Nicole was that I use HOD as is, I do not alter the books used as they work together so well. I just have an Oz history read-a-loud book that we do when I think about it and we talk about it afterwards.
HTH,
Corrie

Ok so I am not from Australia but I just wanted to say it has been my life long dream to visit there. Hopefully one day.
