My buddy over at Apple passed along this site because he thought there may be some synergies between what we’re doing at PlansForUs and what Jeff is doing with Hellmansoft’s Planbook. I am going to look more deeply into it, but my first thought is that writing a lesson at PlansForUs and linking to it in your planbook seems like a pretty nice way to organize your work. It would also allow you to access your stuff on the web wherever you are. Write and link the plans at school and update them at home, hmmm. Sounds decent.
Jeff is a teacher in Oregon and I think it is awesome to see his work helping other teachers. If you have any thoughts on how we might work together, leave them in the comments. I’ll work on getting in touch with Jeff sometime next week and let you know how it goes.

In other news we began our user interface improvement project with a few interviews last night. I am excited about what we are learning and can assure you that there will be some serious improvements in usability. In the meantime, thanks for soldiering through and contributing to the growth of PlansForUs.
