About PlanbookEdu

In 2004 a web developer noticed his wife (a third grade teacher at the time) writing, erasing, and rewriting her plans in a traditional paper planbook. She wished for a way to do her plans easily on a computer, and thus PlanbookEdu was born.

At first, the teacher was the sole user of PlanbookEdu. In collaboration with her husband, they tailored the site to be efficient, intuitive, and even enjoyable. In its earliest stages, PlanbookEdu allowed web-based access, repeated entries, and the ability to print. Those features alone were enough to capture the attention of members of the administration and other teachers. Soon, others were asking about it, and PlanbookEdu gained its first members.

Today, PlanbookEdu has users in all 50 states of the United States, and in many other countries around the world. To date, there have been over two million entries, which has saved approximately 50,000 sheets of paper.

Thanks to the feedback of its members, PlanbookEdu now boasts features such as file attachment, sharing, the ability to embed a planbook in a website, the incorporation of the Common Core Standards, and creating custom standards.
