Hi friends! Do any of you use PlanbookEdu? You should! I can't even remember how I found out about this site but last spring I started using it a little for my plans and WOW. It is a truly awesome planner that allows you to customize and detail your plans however you'd like.
It's totally free too! You CAN upgrade for $25/year which I did choose to do. (Here's a breakdown of the freebie vs. paid features.) You can color code your boxes by subject area or to highlight special events such as field trips or assemblies. I personally like to make each subject a different color so that I can quickly and easily see when I am teaching what (for those days when you have some shifting around due to specials classes or other duties).
There are a lot of features that come in the free version if you aren't willing to pay for it. You can change your schedule if you are on a rotating basis, access the planbook anywhere, use the program on your iPhone/iPad and (my favorite part), it acts just like a word-processing program so you can add bold, italic or underlining to your plans.
If you upgrade to the pay version, you can embed your plans (for those teachers who have to put them up on websites for parents), attach files and add standards (Common Core and state-specific) to your plans with a few clicks. It's really cool and really easy to use.
You can also make a template if your schedule stays relatively the same from week-to-week so that you simply have to go in and add the information for the new week. There are a lot of tutorials and other help articles to get you started as well. (Check those out here.)
I really ♥ PlanbookEdu and am excited to be working with them very soon as a blogger on their site! Very awesome and I will post more about it once everything is officially "official".
