CC Connected & Right Now Media

As we start off our year of Cycle 3 many of you are getting emails from tutors that share something they did in class that came from Classical Conversations Connected (C3 for short). I want to share with you three reasons you might want to consider subscribing to C3 yourself.

1. Something to do the other 4 days in the week.  Whether this is your first year of homeschooling or you've done it for a decade, everyone needs some fresh inspiration from time to time. If you are not a trained teacher or an expert on every subject {as I am not}, C3 has ideas for everything we do in CC.

2. Copy your child's tutor. If a tutor uses something from C3 in class or recommends something extra from C3 you might want to use that at home. The tutor isn't allowed to give it to you if you aren't already subscribed to C3 {copyright issues or something legal}. So if you're subscribed you can get it to use for yourself.

3. RIGHT NOW MEDIA! This just became available a year or two ago and I am so thankful I looked it up. It's like Christian netflix but they do not offer individual subscriptions, you have to be part of a group like C3! If you subscribe to C3 it's free for you to use and its well worth the price of the C3 subscription in my opinion.

If you are associated with Classical Conversations, You can request an email invitation to set up your RightNow Media profile by sending an email to this address: ccconnected@classicalconversations.com​

Right Now is an app that you can use on Roku or smart TV, your smartphone, tablet, or computer. It's great for when you need to do school on the go. Right Now has something for everyone in your family. Men's & Women's Bible Studies, Kids shows, Book studies and more. Classical Conversations has a special section where they recommend videos for each level of CC - scribblers through Challenge 4. Just today my family watched a Max Lucado Bible Study "Made to Make a Difference" and "Drive Thru History: Christopher Columbus" and learned something from each one. The Bible studies are usually a series of 20-30 min video and they have free downloadable worksheets to go along with them if you have older kids that need some structure to their daily quiet time. We usually watch one video a week and then use the scripture and questions worksheets to guide our Bible Study throughout the rest of the week. 

You can search Right Now by topic or by series title like "What's in the Bible" or "Incredible Creatures That Defy Evolution."  My kids especially enjoy the videos on missionaries like "The Jim Elliot Story." We've found many great video resources on Right Now Media to supplement our at home learning experience. 

I hope you look around on Classical Conversations Connected and see what you think. It's a great resource in itself with the added benefit of Right Now media.
