Choose a curriculum
Select from our pre-defined curriculums or create your own. We’re actively looking for curriculum authors to develop their curriculum and publish it on Apple Blossom. If you have an existing curriculum that’d you’d like to share (or sell) we can help you convert it to a format for Apple Blossom users to integrate it into their plans.
Gather learning materials
Whether it’s a coloring page, a times table worksheet, or an article on the geography of Brazil, materials make the lesson. Share your materials with others and find the right materials to supplement your lessons.
Develop lesson plans
Using your curriculum and materials, you can build daily, weekly, and long term lesson plans. List your subjects, define topics to cover each day, add materials and planning notes, and rearrange your lesson schedule.
Track student progress
You can track your children’s progress completing the curriculum, indicating mastery and scoring grades if you want. Lessons don’t always go as planned, but with Apple Blossom you can keep track of which areas of the curriculum are covered on a given day. You can them go back and cover areas you missed or review topics that could use improved mastery.
Share with others
You can choose to share your curriculum and materials with others. If you’re a co-teacher (or not homeschooling) you can share children’s progress with their parents.
Collaborate
You can collaborate on curriculum development with others. Use the power of the internet to work together defining curriculums, developing lesson plans, creating learning materials, and reviewing and customizing existing curriculums.
Marketplace
There is a lot of great material out there, but not all of it is free. Apple Blossom plans to offer a secure marketplace for curriculums and materials from learning professionals. If you develop your own curriculum and materials you can license it to others through our marketplace.
