A New Outlook on Planning

Earlier this year, Tina Newbrey and Melissa Morlock at Lake Wilderness started to use an Outlook calendar for planning and keeping track of lessons. Each teacher created a new calendar that has the job of storing their lessons for each week. Both teachers state that their favorite thing about using this instead of a paper plan book is that they have access to the calendar anywhere. This came in handy earlier this winter when Melissa was sick and had to plan from home. Other benefits of using the Outlook calendar include the ability to color code different subject areas, you can set reminders for different lessons, and re-scheduling lesson plans is less complicated.
