Hi power users:

It just hit me, that Logos is amazing for gaining an expanded conceptual framework in subjects a bit different from religious ones.

We have Encyclopedia Britannica, which is very good for general education articles, there is also the Syntopicon, which is useful, etc.

Research Library for philosophy in noet is notable also, and valuable addition to Logos.

The advanced research tools in Logos, allows the user to find quickly relevant information that reveals key concepts in topics that are useful for homeschooling, regular school, general education, etc.

With the above in mind I wonder if there could ever be a development of resources like the ones that will be listed, and that would aid more in the not so religious (but still important) education:

Dictionary of Philosophy.

Dictionary of Mathematics.

Dictionary of Physics.

Dictionary of Chemistry.

Dictionary of Biology.

Dictionary of Anthropology and social sciences.

Dictionary of Business terms and finance.

Dictionary of Quotations.

Dictionary of Sports and Physical education.

Then we have the long needed resources also:

Dictionary of German- English, English German.

Dictionary of French- English, English- French.

Dictionary of Portuguese- English, English- Portuguese.

Many not so complicated resources exist that relate to the above list. Ideally Logos would pick the ones that are closer to the Christian Worldview, for general reference.

The Harvard classics have indexes, etc.  There are resources in FL e books that touch upon classical education from a Christian perspective.

With the above listed resources (if added to Logos), such possibility to aid in educating the young in classical style, best of available resources (classic and modern) becomes a reality.

Logos does not cease to amaze me in applications, I really would like to see the above listed resources available, and would be best if offered in a "Modern homeschool bundle".

The reason for the idea, is that if many persons do want to homeschool, they have excellent searching tools in Logos, and they just need general resources that can point to the way for research in other media for subjects of a not so religious nature, but still important.

That would also help pupils learn researching skills, and to synthesize, and identify key concepts in subjects.

The different resources in FL e book can then be used to tie stewardship, ethics, worldview and the like from a christian perspective to common life subjects.

Peace and grace.
