How Our Digital Homeschool Evolved

I recently discovered this video trending on social media, and it caught my attention. This “Evolution of the Desk” got me thinking about the evolution of our homeschool room and resources over the past 12 years. I considered all the materials I had when we started homeschooling my now 17-year-old. We had a whole bookshelf dedicated to curriculum, workbooks and activity idea books.
