Planning. We’ll be sick of it by the end of our placement
but it’s got to be done…apparently. Trying to work out how to plan effectively,
whether to use paper and pen, or Word, your brain or Google’s, can be a
nightmare at times à
the one where you wake up glistening and you’re trapped in your sheets because
you decided to become a mermaid.
The nightmare is over…Planboard is where it is at!!! Both of
my associates use it to great effect to plan out their lessons, not just for
the week but for the entire year!!! It is a handy wee tool which has its own
wee calendar thing going on so that if you decide you want to plan ahead
(haha), you can go right ahead and do it by clicking the day, week, month or
whatever! It’s not the most advanced tool in the technological toolbox, but
it’s simple and super easy to use.
My associates use it to organise their
brain, work out what their lesson outcomes are and how they are going to teach
that to their students. They list out their ideas for the lesson 1, 2, 3 and just take it from there. It’s adaptable
and you can edit any of the lessons at any time so they’re not set in stone. It
is a great piece of technology to use in teaching as it is in a safe and secure
location, easy to find and great for refreshing your brain as to what you’re
going to teach. Planning made simple…not easy, just simple. Maybe a little
bit easy…
