Buy Download Copy

Why do I offer downloads of the lessons?

To keep from charging for web access to the lessons! The site has gotten more popular than my pocketbook can afford!  All products have the same content as the live web site. It's just more convenient to have it all on your own computer. Plus, the download versions do not show ads.

Download

Time Allowed: A download will be active for only 7 days or a limited number of attempts, whichever comes first!! The number of attempts depends on several factors but ranges between 4 and 14. Too many attempts from different computers will also de-activate the download.

I can reset the downloads if you run out of attempts. Email me and include your order number and a description of what happened. Sometimes the problem is not with the download itself.

You can purchase Online File Backup Protection for a year for $3.95 on the payment page, which guarantees that you can download again in that time, even if the original product is no longer offered.

Note: For security purposes, to order you must use a modern browser:
Desktop: Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome 38 or later, Firefox 27 or later, Apple Safari 7 and later for OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) or later
Mobile: Google Android OS Browser on Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or later, Apple Mobile Safari 5 or later for iOS 5 or later.

Other Purchase Info

Discs in bulk:
For bulk orders of 25 discs or more, contact me. The discount available depends on the number ordered. I lost my vendor for burning discs [Sept. 24, 2018] so these discs must be produced as a special order.

Other purchases:
If you need something besides the choices in the table above, email me with the details of what you want and I will reply with specific directions and pricing.

Purchase orders: I can do a purchase order but discs ship only after payment has processed.

• License for Classroom use: Complete the Permissions Form to use the materials with your class.

(See above for info on ordering discs or a license to copy discs for your students.)

Email me if you have other questions about licensing or unusual situations.

Version History

What's New lists site changes and version releases. There is usually some delay before changes on the live site are available in the download and on disc to allow for error reports and the complex process of removing the ads and other setup issues. The download and disc versions are updated after major changes but not after minor corrections and updates.

Languages: To get the same lessons in both English and Spanish requires two separate orders.

Teachers/instructors: For a free license to use my materials with your students, please read the Permissions page and complete the Permissions Form. This will get you into my database. This is needed whether or not you purchase a download or disc.
