Trying Planboard, liking it!

I'm trying out planboard, an online lesson planning tool.  So far, I like it!  It took some time to set up my weekly schedule, and insists on calling the days A, B, C instead of 1, 2, 3.  Probably there's a button to click to change that setting, but I couldn't find it, so will have to put up with tomorrow's day 3 being labeled as C. There are worse things.

The great thing is that now I've got my schedule set up, so I can easily insert lesson plans and upload files to attach, keeping everything in one place.  The plans can be exported to a PDF, or emailed. I tried to link or embed the file here, but the link only works if you have my password. Not that I don't trust you with my password...

Yay!  I'm getting started with a blog!  I'm hoping to create a space to share links to interesting and useful videos and websites. The first of which is a link to how to create your own blog, by Scott Monahan.  I was fortunate to attend his session at the Google Apps For Education Summit.  Here is a link to his fantastic step-by-step instructions on creating your own class blog. Blogging 101 by Scott Monahan
