GoPlans
What it is
GoPlans is an online lesson-planning platform for educators to create, share, and maintain lesson plans. Multiple educators can work in a plan at once, while schools set permissions for who can add or change specific plans. Teachers create and save plans in a browser-based visual editor, with school or district templates, and can revisit plans from earlier academic years. Search tools find lesson-plan content and show results over time; heat-map analytics reveal patterns in that content. Educators can find standards and connect them to lesson material, while schools and districts can add curriculum maps, pacing guides, schedules, calendars, and other resources. GoPlans creates customizable PDFs that users can print, save, or email. Teachers and administrators can also monitor plans, search, and give feedback from smartphones and tablets. The service works on Android, iOS, and the web, and requires an internet connection and modern browser. Adobe Acrobat Reader is listed for viewing or printing plans. GoPlans is paid, with yearly subscription pricing available on request; prospective customers can request a demo.
