PlanbookEdu doesn't impose fields for objectives, materials and assessment. You get a box and a formatting toolbar, and you lay a plan out however your school expects it.
Click Edit on a box to open the lesson editor. The toolbar runs along the top of the text area.
What's available
Reading the toolbar left to right:
- Font size, then the A for text colour and highlighting — see Adjust font size and Add highlighting and color
- Bold, italic, underline and strikethrough
- Bulleted and numbered lists, and alignment
- A table
- A link and a horizontal rule
- Fullscreen, for writing a long plan without the grid around it
- Undo, redo, and clear formatting
Select the text first, then click the button — the same as any word processor.
The last button, the eraser, strips formatting from whatever you've selected. It's the quickest fix for text pasted out of Word that arrived carrying fonts and colours you didn't choose.
Building a consistent layout
Because there are no fixed fields, consistency is up to you. The usual approach is to bold a few headings — Objective, Materials, Homework — and let the detail sit under them as a list.
Do that once, then save it as a repeating entry so every week starts from the same skeleton. That's the whole idea behind building a template, and it's the single biggest time-saver in the app.
Pasting from Word or Google Docs
Pasted text usually keeps its formatting. If it arrives looking wrong — odd fonts, strange spacing, colours you didn't choose — it's carrying styling from the source document. Paste it, select it, and clear the formatting, or paste into a plain-text editor first and copy from there. See Copy and paste between plans.
Formatting is saved with the entry, so a repeating plan keeps its formatting on every occurrence.
