Our good friend Cindy Rushton is gearing up to host one of our all-time favorite online homeschool events, the 2010 Ultimate Homeschool Expo – and has graciously allowed us to share one of the many resources that will be available as part of this vast homeschool resource library / event.

Looks like the Handouts and Q&A are linked to the Samples right now. I'm sure you will have it fixed in a jiffy. Thank you!
Thanks for the fix!
Yes, they are fixed now. Enjoy!
When I save the workshop and question and answer session, I am only getting about 30 seconds of each when I play it back. It looks like the handouts and samples are working though. Thanks for always having such wonderful freebies!
Wendy, if you are getting only a few seconds, you got a partial download…. probably due to the amount of traffic at the site. See our "Problems?" tab and try again a little later when the traffic dies down a bit. It's all there!
Thanks Jim! It worked. The download was quick before maybe 10 seconds(when it did not work), and this time it was more like one minute.
Thank you! I enjoyed this very much.
