Emagine Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I am looking for a software or other electronic means on the computer that will allow me to put in a whole years worth of lesson plans only. I do not want to enter grades, attendance etc. I just want the planner part but I need the flexibility (with ease) to move things around due to field trips, sick days etc and have it bump the whole rest of the year accordingly. The few I have found want to do incomplete, have bells and whistles. I just want the pen and paper in puter form because I will need to move and erase a lot.

rwilk Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 We use homeschool skedtrack which is free, but a little clunky to use. It does automatically re-schedule things due to missed days, and you can easily print a day view/week view if you like that sort of thing.

Insertcreativenamehere Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Homeschool Planet does this very well but it's not cheap. Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FawnsFunnyFarm Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Lessontrek.com They were offering a free lifetime membership over the summer, not sure that's still a possibility or not. I haven't been back since I initially played around with it. It was great, but I'm a notebook kind of girl ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkateLeft Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I use LessonTrek, but I don't think it would be good for planning out the whole year in advance. There's no ability to bump stuff for things like sick days or field trips. You can just copy and paste. Switching from week to week is a little clunky still. I have template weeks set up, and each Sunday, I copy and paste the template week into the coming week, then edit it with our plans. LessonTrek is really best for folks who don't plan far in advance and can change things on the fly. Also, I've sent them feedback a few times and never heard anything back. My one support request never received a response. I'm a paid subscriber, so that kind of irks me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insertcreativenamehere Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I use Lessontrek (since I got in on the free lifetime membership) and while you can move things around, it does not bump everything like Homeschool Planet does. You have to move everything manually. I only plan a week at a time using it for this reason. When I used Homeschool Planet, I planned a semester at time.

Tenaj Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Homeschool Tracker has a section specifically for lesson plans. I love it because I can use one set of plans over again for the next kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Cook Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Scholaric I'll second this, it works great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bensonduck Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I really like Homeschool Helper, which is an iPad app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDmom Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I like the Simply Charlotte Mason planner. It's a subscription and not cheap, but it has all the flexibility I couldn't find in cheaper programs. You can try a month for free to see if it's a good fit for you.

scrapper4life Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Another Homeschool Skedtrack user here! There are several video tutorials you can watch and see if it's for you. Best part, it's free and online so I can jump on anywhere and plan when I have a second :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
