Supporting Homeschooling with Modern Information and Communication Technologies
Abstract
This paper aims at reviewing the opportunities provided by new digital media in the contemporary educational environment in the context of the needs of parents who homeschool their children. The subject is important as it seems that the development and easier access to new information and communication technologies (ICT) may become both a factor that influences parents’ decision to take up homeschooling and an element that significantly supports the very educational process. In the article; the authors are trying to answer the question how; based on new information and communication technologies; we can build a personalized educational environment for homeschooling; and which digital tools and resources can be used for this purpose. In the first part; new trends in education and homeschooling development were described. Then; the authors classified and discussed online services and tools that may be useful in homeschooling. They were arranged according to the functions they perform; taking into account information resources; didactic materials and aids; as well as means of digital communication. Also; the authors provided the results of surveys carried out among Polish homeschooling families that were related to the use of new digital technologies. In the conclusion the authors enumerated the advantages of digital educational environment for homeschooling.
