Prager University is an online educational resource promoting knowledge and clarity. We are not an accredited academic institution. And we don’t want to be. All our courses are free and available to anyone anywhere throughout the Internet.
Each week, we release a FREE, 5-minute video course – taught by some of the foremost experts in the field—on history, economics, politics, religions, philosophy and life. Each video not only teaches an important concept, but it also helps people to understand how Judeo-Christian values have shaped the world, how free markets, small government, and personal responsibility create just and compassionate societies in which people are happy, prosperous, and caring.
PragerU videos also make great additions to any lesson plan. Use a course’s companion quiz and study guide to engage with the content on a deeper level. Or use them to spark a lively discussion on all sorts of topics. Our videos are not only packed with rich information, they are supported by cutting edge, visually-compelling, entertaining images and animation.
On the hunt for scholarship money? We can help with that too! Have your students enter our essay contest on the Ten Commandments for the chance to win up to $1,500. For more details, please visit the website.
And as an extra bonus for readers of The Old Schoolhouse®, we’ll be raffling off a $100 Visa gift card! Simply sign up for the free Educator Program using this special link by December 20, 2014.

Recommended by Dr. Jay Wile of Apologia Science as “…truly, the best that I have seen,” VideoText Interactive Math specializes in multi-media programs for middle and high school mathematics (Pre-Algebra through Pre-Calculus.) With focus on the “why” behind concepts, video lessons are supported by notes, worktexts, tests, step-by-step solution guides, and a toll-free helpline for additional support. While parents and students are often frightened by the prospect of teaching high school mathematics, VideoText Algebra and Geometry programs are the perfect solution for continuing home education.
Each video lesson is designed to capture and hold the student’s attention for 5-13 minutes, through the use of computer-generated graphics, animation, and color-sequencing, while engaging him or her in the complete development and understanding of concepts. Because of the unique delivery of the VideoText lessons, students can study independently, allowing them to cover and comprehend more material than ever before thought possible. New online versions of VideoText Algebra and Geometry now also provide families with even more economical options for mastering these math courses. Visit the website below to request a FREE sampler DVD and receive information about trial guest access to VideoText Online!

A NEW EDUCATIONAL APP
Available now for Android, Apple, and Amazon tablets!
Happy Kids-Happy Pets TM promotes character development in elementary-age children through fun stories “written” by furry pets. Our app covers five topics: Life Lessons, Dealing with Bullies, Caring for Your Dog, Learning about Cats, and Learning about Dogs.
Your child can seamlessly scroll through 275 story cards, front and back, at his or her own pace. The front side features irresistible portraits of cool dogs or cats. The reverse side has the printed “thoughts” of each pictured pet, read aloud by children with sound effects galore. Since kids relate well to animals, they won’t feel “lectured to” about the important topics covered. Each story is less than one minute!
Kids can read along or listen to the stories during quiet time, car rides, bedtime, etc.—with their minds thoughtfully engaged! Our stories encourage meaningful conversations, inspired by questions such as these that conclude each story:
- Why is it important to tell the truth and keep your word?
- What would you do if kids were bullying you or someone else?
- Is it hard for you to share?
- How do you care for pets?
Kids will enjoy this wholesome, entertaining app and benefit from the important lessons they learn from it.
Our motto is: “Treat all people and all animals exactly how you want to be treated. Kindness is cool!” Share this with everyone you love!
Limited Time Only – Download 15 FREE Stories!

A tradition passed down through the generations, the Snipe Hunt originated as a tall tale told by parents and teens to younger children. Inexperienced campers are told about a bird or animal called the Snipe and the usually preposterous method of catching it, such as running around the woods carrying a bag or making strange noises like banging rocks together. As children set off in search of the Snipe, their elders take in the antics and try to contain their laughter.
A twist on this fruitless quest, Snipe Hunt is an indoor or outdoor game of hide-and-seek where players try to be the first to find their opponent’s Snipe and return it to its nest. To play, the teams choose an area that will be the Snipe nest and two areas to hide their Snipes.
Each team turns their Snipe on and disappears to find the best hiding place for them. In five minutes the Snipes will begin chirping and their eyes will start flashing red so teams must hurry to get back to the nest before they give away the direction their Snipe is hiding. Once both Snipes are hidden, the hunt begins! The first team to return their opponents’ Snipe to the nest is the winner.
Each game comes with two snipes, (named Biela and Smartin) and a Snipe nest. The packaging tells the story behind the legendary campfire animals. For more information on the game, including rules, visit www.educationoutdoors.net.

Are you completely fed up with your current pencil sharpener? Does the loud grinding interrupt your lessons? Or perhaps you are you looking for an alternative to the costly electric models that barely last a full year and create an absolute racket when sharpening.
The Classroom Friendly Pencil Sharpener has been getting rave reviews from both teachers and homeschool families throughout the country. The specialized blade creates a long yet sturdy point and the automatic stopping feature prevents over sharpening. Its sturdy retro metal frame allows for a long lifespan and the clear disposal tray allows for quick and easy clean up. Children as young as 5 years old can quickly learn to operate this manual pencil sharpener. It is intended to be a portable device which allows you to take it with you wherever you go. It can also be secured in place using the included clamp or permanent mount. Oh, and did I mention just how quiet it is? You certainly won’t be interrupted anymore.
Visit www.classroomfriendlysupplies.com to check them out. They will change the way you sharpen pencils in your home or classroom.
Use discount code HOMESCHOOL2014 to get 5% off your order. Offer ends Jan 31, 2015.
