do you want to join the new crew?

Last fall I began reviewing homeschooling products and curricula for this blog as part of The Old Schoolhouse magazine’s TOS Homeschool Crew. Now that our maiden voyage is coming to a close, it’s time to choose a new Crew to receive free homeschooling and educational products and books to test in their homeschool! If you enjoy writing and sharing your opinions with others and are able to follow directions, multi-task, and meet deadlines, consider applying to join next year’s team!

TOS is looking for 100 blogging, emailing, cyber talking, home educating parents for this exclusive group and will begin the screening process for the top 100 very soon.

We are inviting 75 of our best advertisers to take part in this special viral marketing program. These exclusive advertisers are going to send you a selection of their hottest products to try.

Your job as a Crew member is to thoroughly use the products in your homeschool. Then, blog about them, email, tell your online groups, and get the information out, helping us go viral. Not only do you get to use the product but it is a free gift, for being part of the focus group!

If you’re interested in learning more about the application process for the new TOS Crew and how to download the free TOS items you’ll be asked to review in order to be considered for the position, go here. I encourage anyone who’s at all interested to consider applying.

I’ll be disembarking from the TOS Crew ship in a few weeks but recently joined TOS’s product review team, so watch for my reviews on the web site and in the magazine in the coming months! I’ll still be reviewing books and other learning-related products here at Treasure Seekers on occasion, too. Since I won’t be so busy testing products and writing reviews for the blog, I’ll be able to focus more on my goal here “to share ideas with other homeschoolers; to encourage and empower parents to teach their children and be actively involved in their education, whether they’re homeschooled or public- or private-schooled; and to discuss current events, educational philosophies, and other education-related information.”
