Homeschool Resources of Note

This is just a very roughly drafted list which I have compiled (so far) of resources that I intend to research further. I've found many of them via Q&A posts on homeschooling networks on Facebook.  


I plan to update this list as I work my way through it.


Do you think that one can have TOO MUCH information?
