Greetings from Orlando where I am getting ready for FETC2015! I wil. be sharing 2 poster sessions and 1 Aspire session. You can find my schedule here.
Today, I am going to share with you a powerful planning tool called planbook.com.
You can get 6 months free by using my code free6con .
So what is so unique and inspiring about this particular tool?
- It is easy to use.
- It is changeable to meet your needs.
- It allows you to import other teachers plans, or export your plans to others.
- You can share your planbook with parents and students.
- Standards, including Common Core, State, and National standards are already loaded and easy to add to your plans. (If you have standards that are not included, planbook.com staff will help you add them to the system.)
- It is thoughtfully organized for ease of use.
- Planbook.com staff have created a youtube channel with how to videos on youtube that show you step-by-step how to set up, create classes, write lessons, share, and add standards.
- It is both web-based and APP- based.
Our school is a Jewish school with English teacher, Hebrew teachers, Judaic Studies teachers, PE, Music, Art, and Technology teachers, ESOL push in/pull out teachers, and Learning Center staff. Our entire staff needs the opportunity to plan together to build a cooperative learning environment. In order to share plans across the staff and with administrators, we began using the planbook.com tool. I can access teachers lesson plans in grades K-5 to see what they are teaching and build my technology plans around their content instruction. This also allows our push-in teachers to see what is going on in the classrooms and what their small group will be covering so they can be prepared for instructional support. To set this type of account up, planbook.com created dual accounts for all of our teachers/staff.
My planbook is always moving and changing to meet the needs of our schedule. You can view my planbook with this link.
Planbook is very affordable, $11 a school year! You can get a free 6 month subscription by using my code: free6con . If a school wants to set up a planbook account, contact the team for pricing by emailing support@planbook.com.
