I use a free program called <a href= "https://www.chalk.com/planboard?utm_source=coolcatteacher">Planboard</a> for my lesson planning. My school uses Planboard with <a href= "https://www.chalk.com/">Chalk.com</a>’s</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">curriculum planning tool</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">. This powerful tool links with standards -- and gives us the ability to do some timesaving, efficient reporting and tracking. The best thing about Planboard is I can plan my lessons anywhere - on my Mac, PC or iPad. Wherever I work, my lesson plans are with me. And as I said, Planboard is FREE for teachers. I hope you’ll check out Planboard now!</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dr. Matthew Rhoads - Bio as Submitted</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Matthew Rhoads, Ed.D. is an Educational Specialist at a secondary school in a school district located in North San Diego County.
