Chalk

Great Online Lesson Planning Portal for Educators

Kommentare: Chalk has updated my method of lesson and unit planning, making my work more accessible and flexible.

Vorteile:

Chalk makes it easy for me to plan my units and daily lessons, with the ability to shift them forward and backward, schedule days off, and save and reuse units between class years. I find it very helpful that I can open my plans on any smart device. Its moved me away from using paper plans or multiple Word documents to track my plans.

Nachteile:

A feature that would be helpful would be the ability bulk export individual plans as group or individual PDFs, aside from that, the potential of this software is so great that as a teacher, I recommend it to my peers and as a department chair, require my teachers to use it for their plans.

Lesson plan lifesaver

Kommentare: I switched from another lesson plan product to chalk and I'll never go back. Chalk has everything I need and makes my day to day use of the links, files, etc so easy to click and use throughout my day.

Vorteile:

We started having to add our learning standards into our lesson plans a couple of years ago. I love that with just a click of a button I can easily find the standard I'm looking for. I also love that you can create a template and add it to your plans.

Nachteile:

I do struggle with getting the standards to print when I have to print out my lesson plans.

Chalk usage for teachers

Kommentare: Chalk has been really great for me in a teacher stand point .

Vorteile:

I like how chalk organizes the semester and gives you different templates to chose from . It’s really neat how the use different colors for subject and let you add them to the time that the subject is taught.

Nachteile:

None . I love the new updates . They only thing was maybe the overall learning how to use it. But once you do you are fine !

Chalk Makes Lesson Planning Easy!

Kommentare: Chalk is user friendly and colorful so an easily bored teacher can spice up lesson planning. The bonus features such as grade tracking and attendance are helpful as well.

Vorteile:

Chalk has some awesome features for teachers and administrators. The ability to do things like place videos and links in lesson plans is wonderful. Also, being able to share lesson plans with teams is so beneficial.

Nachteile:

I wish that it was easier to save all lesson plans at the end of the school year in one quick move. Being able to download and upload them year to year would be great.

Storing, Sharing, and reusing lessons is a breeze.

Vorteile:

Once I store a lesson here, it is there for future years, can be edited, and reused. Furthermore, as teachers on one team, we can enter our lessons here and share them, so that they are visible and can be used by all. This especially helps if you need to give a teacher access that works with small group pullouts, etc.

Nachteile:

Within our district, there were several screens, and we would either forget to save before moving forward, or the information wouldn't take. We never could figure out why. This did make the entry feel cumbersome. Perhaps a one-screen versus tab option would be great, and instant saving every minute or so would be helpful to teachers.
