Teachers Go for Network Version of Building Homes of Our Own
 More than 1,200 educators ordered Network Version 2.0 of Building Homes of Our Own in less than 24 hours ― right after NAHB began urging them to order the interactive teaching tool and game for the middle and high school students before the end of the school year.
NAHB launched a direct e-mail campaign on Wednesday, May 4, and 1,700 teachers already have requested the program to date — further confirmation that Building Homes of Our Own is meeting a crucial need among educators and has students responding to simulation learning in the classroom.
“Building Homes of Our Own has been an awesome program to use with my students at West Middle School. We have been using the program for the last two years, and I'm thankful I received your program. The program reinforces hands on learning. It truly engages students,” said Cindy H., a middle school teacher in Tennessee.
Free to Teachers and Members ― And Available Beginning June 1
Officially available on June 1, Network Version 2.0 is available free to members and educators from www.HomesOfOurOwn.org.
Building Homes of Our Own is part of an ongoing education outreach initiative produced in partnership with the National Housing Endowment and Freddie Mac. Network Version 2.0 is made possible with support from the Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters.
