Home Education magazines, e-zines, newsletters, blogs, radio shows, podcasts, and YouTube clips and channels

There are actually several home education magazines published right here in Canada. We also list homeschooling e-zines, newsletters, blogs, radio shows, podcasts, and YouTube clips and channels. Most are for home school parents, but some are by and/or for homelearners.

Note: A "blog" is a "web log" or online diary -- like a frequently updated webpage where you publish your thoughts and share information and links and such.

Homeschooling and unschooling

The Home & School Times

"The Interactive Newspaper for Kids"
The Home & School Times is a newspaper by and for children and youth. Its original purpose was to showcase the works of our talented home schoolers and inform people of events in the area. Some children in the school system also wanted to participate and so we opened it up. We invite OFTP kids to submit stories, artwork, poetry, photographs and anything that can be printed. The newspaper can be delivered to your door. $25 covers our cost of printing and mailing 11 issues each year. It can also be found in libraries around Simcoe County and Oro Medonte. Editors are OFTP members Andre (teen) and Nicky (pre-teen) and their mom Beverly. Some of the articles will be reprinted in the OFTP Kids and OFTP Teens sections of this website.
