I’ve recently discovered @Planboard and am loving it so far. I’m quite reluctant to write things into a paper planner but Planboard is making it so easy to keep track of my classes, lesson plans and to do list ????? #GameChanger #TeacherTraining

Planboard is the greatest thing ever – I couldn’t do it without paper until I started using their site

Thanks @amber_grohs for telling me about @Planboard Making the shift from paper to digital plans. So far I like it!! ??? ??? Reflecting on what works and doesn’t is part of growing and learning @etfoaq @ETFOAQK

I use @Planboard for all of my planning! I love that lessons are easily editable, even on the go with their various platforms. I just make quick notes in each block at the end of class.

Planboard by https://t.co/LSRxJCeBdL is so good for teacher planning. I’ve been using it for a few weeks and regret not having found it a few years ago. Highly recommended. #mbedchat #teacherlife

Theres something about a paper planner that I can’t get used to. But I was recently shown an online planner – @Planboard I can’t stress how helpful this has been this week. I love the UI and the fact I can access it on desktop, my iPad and phone. Love it!

@Planboard kept me super organized my first week back2school. Teachers, if you are looking to digitize your weekly plans, this one is worth trying. Plus, less paper = more trees??

My good friend @lauraleighnoell shared this lesson plan site with me this year and it has absolutely changed my life! https://t.co/elYtiisHfI #teachertwitter #teachershelpingteachers #edchat pic.twitter.com/lEwgDDXDGW

Getting back at it with @Planboard this year. I love that you can add curricular outcomes, personalize your timetable, and plan on the go. Serious game changer for me and has helped me get to know my outcomes that much better. Best part? ITS FREE! pic.twitter.com/gSIpVZWc4K

I forgot how much I enjoyed using @Planboard to create my timetable and daybook. ?? Works across all devices, easy to share and add curriculum expectations. #onted pic.twitter.com/jPjIwjFRn6

Seriously, @Planboard is awesome. If you’re planning for the new year & looking for digital option, check it out! I’ve imported CSTA standards, attached files/videos, organized lessons to view full units, & can easily access prior year plans. Support was super quick too. Love it! pic.twitter.com/hWuU09cb6T
— Kevin Olson (@olsonk408) August 1, 2019
I just had the best conversation with some of the @Planboard team. I thought it would be an all-technical call and they asked about my planning process, struggles, successes instead. I’m focusing on fixing a button and they’re focusing on improving planning altogether. Awesome!
— Mr. Ramstedt (@mrramstedt) July 14, 2020
?? @Planboard! It is so easy to add files and websites to my units. Everything is there when I need it! Goodbye binders!
— Erica Morrill, M.Ed. (@EricaAnneM) August 4, 2017
I do love @Planboard. I have a planner that is paper that I get the basics in, the lists, etc. I use my online Planboard to get all my links, documents, etc in one spot. Love how quickly I can access everything. The paper is sketch and Planboard is the complete picture. #6thchat
— Kristin Kochheiser (@mrskochheiser) November 14, 2018
Starting using Planboard today for lesson planning am absolutely loving it! It keeps track of what Number Day it is, lets me “push” the schedule when I want to add something in that I haven’t done before, and I can attach the files that I need for that lesson day. @Planboard
