Bringing the practical to the digital.
Hello. My name is Heidi. I've been homesteading for two decades, and homeschooling as long as I've had a school-age kid. I think that learning happens both intentionally and experientially, and there is something to be said for serious indoor study, as well as having fun and just exploring the world.
I have been taking care of the family farm for more than 20 years; tending garden, orchard, a timber stand, and raising dairy goats, chickens, and waterfowl. My family started and operates a goat milk soap business and my husband creates and carves with a CNC he built and programmed himself.
In the dark and rainy US Pacific Northwest winters, we find enough down time for video gaming. Raised around some of the early home computers, the first game I fell in love with was Boulder Dash on the Commodore 64 - and I've been gaming ever since. Some of my favorite games are Stardew Valley, Slime Rancher, and Core Keeper; but our family currently has an extensive library of more than 3,000 game titles. I love to talk and play games, and learn about new ones, too!
I've been teaching for more than ten years, with extensive experience both in the classroom and online platforms, with students ranging from kindergarten through grad school. I have taught at private schools, college campuses, and homeschool co-ops. I have also taught virtually in both the master's of education and doctorate of education programs at Concordia University Online. In fact, as of 2024, I have taught well over 4,000 live online classes, reaching more than 3,800 unique students.
So come learn with me, whether your classroom has four walls or no walls. Let's have fun learning online!
Super fun and engaging class for my six year old. She says she wants to take it "37 more times!"
Does your kid have an interest in farm animals?! Would you like to foster this passion while showing them learning is fun?! Do you like to sleep in a lil on saturdays but also love your kids?! This is your class! Heidi is loving and patient with each child while always bringing it back to the lesson! Is she qualified you ask?!? How silly of you! She lives on a farm! She’s really great!
Awesome class for first time goat enthusiasts! Our 9 year old loved it and asked tons of questions. Ms. Heidi was patient, answering all his questions, but also kept the class moving along. She was engaging, interesting, and funny! Would definitely recommend this class and teacher!
