Software for Homeschools Using Macs

These days, many more people are using Apple Macintosh computers and software in their homeschool. Apple makes their systems very easy to use, and children seem to "get" them easier and quicker than pc's. But sometimes, it can be hard to find software for certain subjects for Mac. Or the best software available is only available on Windows. In these cases, you could use a program on your (newer, intel-based) Mac called VMWare Fusion. This will allow you to run Windows programs within your Mac environment, seamlessly and at full speed. This could also give you the option of running any other Windows software you might need, not just your homeschool software. The software can be configured such that the software program you are going to run shows up as a regular Mac icon, you simply double click, and the application is launched, almost completely without realizing it is running in a Windows environment. VMWare Fusion makes your Mac the best of both worlds, and opens up the possibilities of what software you can run.
