"Easy Lesson Planning Tool"

4/5

What do you like best about Forethought?

I like that you can easily share plans between coworkers. It's very simple to set up and view each other's plans. I also like that you can add a lesson plan template depending on what your school uses and it's automatically there ready to go. I also really like that your guides, standards, and other district resources are on the tool bar and easily accessible. If your district allows, you can easily click on instructional guides and paste those into the lesson planner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forethought?

I think it could be more collaborative. I work with a team teacher and it would be nice to be able to have the same plan and edit it on both of our accounts. You can set up another planner and do it that way, but then you have to paste it into your own account. I think it is a little redundant. It can also be a little slow and finicky.

Recommendations to others considering Forethought:

It is a great tool and I think they're headed in the right direction. It's very simple to add lesson plans and to view others' plans if you team teach. It's a great tool for administrators because they can easily view everyone's plans in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Forethought solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows for an entire district's plans to be in one place to be monitored and shared. It allows for collaboration between schools and even teammates. It also helps that all of the resources can easily be uploaded and viewed into the planner instead of having different things in different places. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
