Being able to copy previous years classes to the new start dates really helps stay on pace for the grading period and students/parents love the one I embedded on my website. Pros I can link lessons directly to standards, and search for standards by keyword. Saves so much time. Can also easily more plans around it there is snow day or other disruption in learning. Cons Sometimes formatting gets a little messed up when changing things like background color or attachments.

Teacher Education Management ### "Planbook encourages effective teaching." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 21, 2021 I love planbook and the many user friendly features. Pros Planbook is for people who love organization. It is aesthetically pleasing and helpful in so many ways. There is an area to type my plan, but also many other features. There is a title section, and also an area to choose a unit title. In the notes section, I hyperlink to documents that I need to print. There is a standard section which is so helpful. You simply search for the standard, and it is added automatically. You can easily extend, bump, or copy plans. You can also share your plans with another teacher! Cons If I extend a plan and my academic year is full, it deletes the last plan of the year. I wish there was a way to bump it without deleting it completely.

Madi M. Program Services Director Education Management ### "Great way to create consistent, organized plans" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 March 29, 2021 I love paper plans, but I also love saving paper! PlanbookEdu is a great, easy to use software to create organized plans that follow a consistent schedule. Pros I love that it is so easy to create and edit recurring schedules. All schools have different schedules, but the ability to edit one single period, a weekly period, or a daily period makes creating a schedule template so quick and easy. Changing one single occurrence is great, because I don't ruin any other blocks when just one thing needs to be different. Cons There aren't all that many cons. I think it all comes down to preference. Do you prefer writing plans down on paper? Do you prefer using a specific type of software or browser? Many features are hidden behind a premium subscription, but $25/year is a fair price.

AB Angela B. teacher E-Learning ### "Perfect for planning" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 September 21, 2020 Happy. Pros Easy to use and plan everything for my students. Cons Can have a few more tools for planning classes.

BS Barbara S. Elementary school teacher Primary/Secondary Education ### "Versatile online lesson planning" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 28, 2020 PlanbookEdu is a great tool for teachers at any level. My school does reimburse me for this yearly subscription but I'd still pay it myself just to continue this online tool. Whenever I need sub plans, I just add extra comments to the plans, add online link information, logins etc, print and they're ready to go for my substitute. Pros PlanbookEdu makes lesson planning a breeze. Once you set up your school year start and end date, along with number of planning periods in your schedule, PlanbookEdu produces a template. Simple features of copy & paste, click and drag, and repeat entries once, daily or weekly make setting up your planbook quick for those weekly specials classes (music, Spanish, computer..) and routine classes (math, reading...). It's easy to mark holidays, snow days or unexpected days off. I especially like being able to upload files that I can click and print for a day's lesson or include weblinks for songs, videos and other online lessons. Cons I've been very pleased with this software since I discovered PlanbookEdu many years ago. I was tired of writing my special classes and time periods over and over each week in the handwritten planbooks. When I planned ahead and a snow day or other unexpected cancelled school day was announced, I had to erase and start over my plans. One small note that I'd like to see PlanbookEdu add is more different colors. I use these to designate my weekly specials classes and events. The existing colors are look too similar.

Teacher Primary/Secondary Education ### "How to Make Your Administrators and Colleagues Happy while Staying Sane and Organized" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 11, 2020 Planbook helps educators create complete, accurate, and visually pleasing lesson plans that can be shared with other teachers or submitted to one's Administration for oversight and approval.It is helpful for keeping a record of your past plans as well which makes it easier from year to year to start planning straight away, before the kids come back. Pros I started using Planbook over 6 years ago when I was a student teacher and have used it on and off (depending on my role for the year) ever since. First of all, it's affordable, which is a big deal for teachers who have to fund this kind of product on our own. Second, it helps teachers stay organized while making lesson plans, and allows for adjustments when schedules or caseloads change. It is easy to share, easy to retrieve, download, and print if needed, and because you can build your own templates, you are able to set up categories and reminders that prevent you from missing anything that your administrator might require. Cons It has improved over time, but some of the features can be a little clunky or old-school to relocate/duplicate/fill/edit. It was never serious enough to discourage me from using it, however.

Math Teacher Education Management ### "Love PlanbookEdu" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 16, 2020 PlanBookEdu is so easy to use. You don’t have to be good at technology and it’s easy to print your lessons to reference all week long. Pros I looove PlanbookEdu! I use it weekly for my lesson plans. Not only does my admin get to view it electronically, but it keeps me organized for the entire week! Cons There isn’t anything I don’t enjoy about PlanBookEdu. It’s so easy to add in Standards and copy and paste and you can set up your books however you please.

AU Anonymous User Teacher Education Management ### "Pretty Good" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 January 8, 2020 Overall Planbook does the job pretty well. For years I had used my paper planner which had the days going down the side. It took me a while to get used to the calendar going across the top instead. It would be nice if they offered an option to go either way. Pros Online accessibility across platforms, Colors, Flexibility to set design (colors, fonts, font size, display layout, sorting), It's sharing options, and Google Calendar integration. Share lessons with other teachers. Cons When using Google Calendar, it bumps the rows out of wack. Deleting a series of days in a row is cumbersome (I copied lessons to the wrong class, then had to delete them... one at a time).

Teacher Education Management ### "Great for technologically-savvy teachers!" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 December 12, 2019 I used PlanbookEdu for one year. I consider myself a pretty technologically savvy person, and I wanted to see how it felt to have fully digital lesson plans. It was a little bit more difficult for me personally, as I plan regularly with my colleagues. It was difficult to plan ahead, and look back at past weeks, during meetings. For me personally, a regular paper planbook was more feasible, but I have many colleagues and acquaintances that swear by Planbook! It's all about preferences between online planning and pencil-to-book planning. If you are someone who wants to plan digitally, this is a fantastic option. Pros I really liked the ability to have this planbook available digitally. It was one less thing I was carrying home at night, and saved on paper. The cost of the software was very fair, cheaper than many paper-based options. It was easy to use the features to meet my needs. Cons There were times where I wanted to print my plans to have a hard copy. The plans did not print well. The more information you put in for lesson plans, the more paper was needed to print the plans. They became difficult to read because of this - the same day was spread across multiple pages.
