At EdAlive we value the feedback and suggestions by people from all walks of life, including the ever growing homeschool community. With many of our staff being previous homeschool students, we know the importance of word-of-mouth in these circles. To facilitate this, in 2019 we reached out to the Homeschool Review Crew and set up a series of reviews. These reviews of Typing Tournament Online and Maths Invaders Online showed a general consensus of excitement and enjoyment.
With the addition of three new exciting Web Apps to our platform (Words Rock Online, Baggin’ the Dragon Maths Online and Volcanic Panic Reading Success Online), we decided it was time to reach out again. From the initial posts we have been tagged in on both Facebook and Instagram, it is evident that the reviewers are getting right into it! We, like you, are looking forward to what the Review Crew have to share come June!

Castleview Academy exclaims “Typing Tournament Online is quite addictive, even for me!” and that “you can go right from a very beginner with no knowledge of touch typing, right up to having a goal of over 100 words per minute.”
Four Violet Reviews shared in regards to our motto Every Chance for Every Child – “I think I love this Australian educational program developer. This melts my Mom-heart and I can see their true dedication in their work.”
