Information At Their Fingertips
If your child's anything like mine, they're just bursting to ask any question that pops into their curious little minds. No matter how good your answers are, there are always more questions – homeschooling or not! No one can answer them all, right? Wrong! Here's a teacher that's always patient and ready for the next question and within seconds will answer it correctly and thoroughly!

Here’s my secret weapon I can’t live without... What can I say, it’s my break from the endless questions!

What is it?

GuruNet is the always-available teacher, parent, and homeschool tutor, right where you need them. Don’t get me wrong - I use this program as much as my kids do! Every time I see a word or phrase in a document I’m reading or even online I just hold the alt-key and click the word with my mouse... within seconds I’ve got more information about it than I could ever use!

GuruNet In Action...

Just yesterday, my son came to me and asked, “Mom... what’s a hurricane?” I answered, “Well... it’s wind and a big storm on the water.” This inadequate answer – I'm afraid to admit that that's about all I knew about hurricanes - was just met with a barrage of more questions: Why are hurricanes so big? How do they start? Will a hurricane hit us? Well, what else is a homeschool mom to do?

I sat my son down and typed h-u-r-r-i-c-a-n-e on the computer and alt+click and this is what I got...






Next question... “What do they look like mom?” I just clicked Search Web and the images tag, and seconds later...


“What do people do when a hurricane wants to hit their house?” I just clicked Health Topic and...




As you can see, GuruNet is unlike any other program out there. It will go as far as to pronounce the word for you and show you how to say it in sign language! There is even a word and topic for the day. When you turn on your computer GuruNet is there giving you curriculum!


The Details...

    

  • Pricing: GuruNet costs $29.99 for an annual membership and, believe me, my personal membership is worth every penny. I’ve had my subscription for about eight months now and I have no complaints. You can check out GuruNet at GuruNet.com.

        

  • 1-Click Answers: The makers of GuruNet are now also offering a FREE software called 1-Click Answers. Though very similar to GuruNet, 1-Click is not as personalizable, but it does integrate into your browser and still allows you to perform their famous alt-click search on any word you see on your screen. Because it's free, 1-Click does integrate ads into its interface, but, hey... it's free! You can check out 1-Click at Answers.com.

Imagine if every word on the screen could pop out and tell you about itself. GuruNet does. Today. Click here to try it FREE!
