Planbook.com: How to add "I Can Statements" to Lessons

We are using Planbook.com as our lesson plan book in our K-5 classrooms. Overall, the teaching staff seems very pleased with this decision (especially with changes that are required with transparency of CCSS within all lesson plans in Michigan. Planbook.com has many advantages over a paper plan book. 

  • It is accessible anywhere there is internet connection
  • Administrators have direct access to plans (no emailing to find good observation times)
  • No need to print sub plans as there is a link for subs to view
  • Common Core State Standards are easily attached to every lesson
  • and...adding "I Can Statements" is pretty easy

Below is a quick video of how to create (yep, you do need to type them all in once) a list of your I Can Statements aligned with the CCSS.
