When Dale Bartlett wrote Have Kids - Will Travel, he never thought he would become a nationally known author. His book however is now in its fifth printing and has been sold throughout the US as well as internationally. Officially, he has been a Systems Integrator for the traffic industry, husband and father of four. Have Kids – Will Travel was written using 7 years of research and experience traveling the world with their children and coming up with new and unique ways to do it both inexpensively and free. The Bartlett’s have travel extensively throughout the United States spending as little as $700.00 for the entire family to visit destinations like New England and New York for two and a half weeks. That included airfare, hotels, car, food and more. They have spent a week in Hawaii for just over $200.00 per person including air and hotel. They have also visited many other countries including, England, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, Italy, Honduras, Belize and Mexico with free airfare, free places to stay, literally paying for just food and fun. Of how this will change family travel Bartlett says: "I believe that with the proper planning and knowing the right travel secrets, any family could travel anywhere in the world for less than it cost to go camping, defiantly much less than going to Disneyland." This kind of travel can also be used as you incorporate your travels with homeschooling. It is amazing how the history comes to life as you walk in the footsteps of those great men and women in history. To actually see what they saw, to feel the sites first hand, will provide a greater love of their lives and the great history they left us than you ever thought possible.  Come join his discussion and learn how your family can travel the world.

Emmy nominated Rachel Coleman is the co-creator of Signing Time, which teaches ASL vocabulary to children of ALL abilities in a fun and engaging way. Since the release of their first video in 2002, parents and professionals everywhere praise the Signing Time series for opening up a world of possibilities for their children, whether they are using ASL as a means to communicate with their babies before they develop speech, or learning a second language, or even for children with special needs for whom speech is a challenge.
 Rachel Coleman has a unique perspective on parenting children with special needs. She experiences it as a great adventure and celebrates the daily miracles.  Rachel is the mother of Leah, who was born deaf, and Lucy, who has spina bifida and cerebral palsy. Rachel learned from her two daughters the power of using American Sign Language (ASL) to communicate and is committed to building a world where communication is available for everyone. This was the motivation behind Signing Time.
 Rachel is also the president of the Signing Time Foundation that is dedicated to making sign language fun and accessible to all children, creating a world in which all children can express themselves and be understood.
 ASL is the only language that incorporates both kinesthetic and visual learning styles. It is a tool that empowers hearing infants, toddlers, and children with special needs to express themselves.  Combining the movement of sign language with music creates an educational environment that is fun and rewarding for everyone.

Robert L. Conklin, author of The Grammar Key and Spelling You Can See, offers teachers and students an entirely new way to view the rules of English and spelling: techniques that develop awareness of the consistent similarities that characterize these subjects, as many words follow predictable rules.
