The
Indiana Home Educators' Network http://www.ihen.org
has given away two more products this month that Help Hoosiers Homeschool.
For
the whole month of February, IHEN accepted entries for a free software
program called Toot! This software helps homeschoolers by creating
interactive portfolios and transcripts that can be burned to a CD
and distributed or archived. For more information, go to http://www.aurbach.com/Toot/index.html.
February's
giveaway winners are: Carol Litz, Delaware County and Jody Barr
from Marion County.
One
winner was drawn at random from posts made to the IndianaHomeschoolers
e-list http://www.IndianaHomeschoolers.com
and one was chosen at random from entries made via IHEN's web site.
"Every
once in awhile, vendors and suppliers to the homeschooling community
donate books, or products for us to give away," said Ben Bennett,
Project Coordinator for the Indiana Home Educators' Network and
co-manager of the state's largest e-mail discussion list for homeschoolers,
IndianaHomeschoolers. "We have so many great subscribers that are
Helping Hoosiers Homeschool every day, it's nice to reward a few
when we can. It keeps things fun too!"
The
Indiana Home Educators' Network and IndianaHomeschoolers doesn't
hold giveaways on a regular basis, but according to Mr. Bennett,
"We're in the process of arranging for some really nice prizes to
give away throughout this year. As businesses and vendors begin
to realize that IHEN and our statewide e-list are reaching thousands
of homeschoolers throughout the entire state, they'll want IHEN
to help them reach those parents with their message."

The
Indiana Home Educators' Network http://www.IHEN.org

In
1998, homeschooler, Jane Casey established the networking and discussion
e-mail list called IndianaHomeschoolers [you can subscribe

that now supports the largest subscriber base of homeschoolers in
Indiana. [As of 3/2006, IndianaHomeschoolers had over 1,090 subscribers.]
Ben Bennett began work in 2001 on the IHEN.org web site to archive
and support the growing e-list.
