Insight Tech Ed Review

Advanced Complete-A-Sketch is a technical sketching program made by Insight Tech Ed. It is a program that introduces students to technical sketching/drafting step by step. It's an easy to use, easy to follow program.

My son, Josiah (right), age 10 absolutely LOVED this program! Using a ruler, pencil, french curves and a circle template, Josiah worked on the variety of projects that are included on the CD.

He would sit down and do pages at a time with NO prompting from me. This alone made me love this program! He has completely finished all of the worksheets that are at his skill level on his own at his own pace. Each technical sketch is a bit harder than the one before, so the degree of difficulty grows incrementally.

Josiah learned some very practical things: how to focus on a project, how to be specific, how to use a ruler to draw lines, how to use french curves, and how to put together a paper model.

Technical Sketching thorough Insight Tech Ed is something that I will use will all of my children to enrich their schooling. This is a subject that isn't traditionally taught in homeschooling, but it should be! I would definitely recommend Advanced Complete-A-Sketch to mothers of boys and to mothers of struggling homeschoolers.

While not all homeschoolers at age 10 are great readers, this is something that is tangible that struggling kids can do. The emphasis isn’t on reading, but on drawing with lines and curves. When they are done with the sketch, they see it and can see a job well done! It’s a self confidence builder.

On a technical note: Projects are easy to print as PDFs. You only need the free downloadable Adobe reader to print from the CD. The link to Adobe reader is available on the Insight Tech Ed website.
