The image above is this weeks lesson plans I have created using PlanboonEdu.com. 


I am so excited about this Web2.0 tool. This is a useful and time saving tool for all educators. PlanbookEdu.com provides educators with the opportunity to do their lesson plans online, share their plans with others, add documents and forms to their plan book on the days you will use them. Not only are we able to type and save our lesson plans but it has a feature that will allow you to add the common core standards you are teaching that day. No more having to stop and refer to the large document. This site has the common core standards linked. When editing the day, just type a keyword in the search box and the common core standard appears. Choose the appropriate one and save. It also provides us with an opportunity to post these lessons on our personal website. The set up of this tool allows educators to write their lesson plans, insert the common core standards, worksheets, newsletters, assessment items, homework, idea sheets and share with our colleagues in the same amount of time if not less then writing them in the traditional plan book. 

I have created a weeks worth of lesson plans including the common core standards I will be focusing on using this Web 2.0 tool. I added my weekly behavior sheet and weekly newsletter. Worksheets and idea sheets have been added to the days in which I will use them. Common core standards for each area have been added. I then shared my plans and this tool with my grade level. Literally it is having all materials except the manuals at your fingertips waiting to be printed and used!

  1. Cindy: What an incredible tool you found! The best part has to be the link to the core standards! I don't know a single teacher that couldn't use that! Thanks for sharing. I am using this as my BP5_Link, as I really think everyone will find the review of this tool useful.
