But I kind of have this idea that if she had been around right now, she would say, 'Embrace technology because your kids are going to have to learn it. They're going to have to know how to deal with technology.' So I think she would've been pro-technology."</p> <p>Dachelle: "Part of it is helping encourage them to be independent educators. It's their education, not mine. So if they want to do something with this when they get older, go into a certain career, then I want to facilitate that, but I'm not the one educating them. They have to educate themselves. So I want them to continue to do that as they grow. When she says she wants to take a psychology class, I'm giving her the tools for that. As they've grown up, I'm no longer sitting there as the teacher that's saying this, this, and this. I'm now saying, 'Okay, here's some books, here's some videos, here's some things that I think would help you,' so that she can educate herself."</p> <p>Thanks to show sponsor BookShark. <a href="https://www.bookshark.com/request-a-catalog/">Request a homeschool curriculum catalog</a> or <a href="http://www.bookshark.com/instructors-guide-samples">download samples</a> at <a href="http://www.bookshark.com/">bookshark.com</a>.</p> <p><strong>TIMESTAMPS</strong></p> <p>04:23 Dachelle shares how she got started
