Planbook: Software for teachers, written by a teacher


Planbook

Gone are the days of a traditional paper lesson plan book.  This software allows teachers to maintain their paper plan book in a digital form. A digital plan book offers much, much more:
Attach files and web links to lessons- no more hunting in file cabinets to find the worksheet, test or other document you used in class. Double click and your files open in the correct application.
Export your plan book to HTML.  Once you upload your plan book to a website, students, parents and other teachers can access the parts of your plan book you want them to see from their web browser.  No more “what’d we do yesterday” or “did my son/daughter have homework” questions from parents and students.
Search your plan book.  Can’t remember when you taught projectile motion?  Search and find the lessons you want in seconds.
