LessonWriter

What do you like best?

LessonWriter is a nice site that allows the user to create, store, use and collaborate on lesson plans. Being able to create different classes is a plus. It's not difficult to figure out. There are many choices to enhance lessons with literacy connections, adding tasks, and designing the lesson as a whole.

What do you dislike?

At first, it feels a bit overwhelming to figure it all out. This does not feel different than other programs that do similar designs. Also, when building the lessons, at times it feels a bit daunting to put everything together to create the entire lesson.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Since the basic plan is free, I would recommend signing up and playing around with the program/site. There are a lot of features to use and implement with lessons.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

This is a good site for beginning teachers and those teachers that are looking for a way to organize and solidify their lesson planning. It is a good system to use to have them created, in place, designed with tasks connected and additional resources. I would recommend this for mentor teachers to suggest to new teachers.
