Reseñas y detalles del producto de Forethought

I think from an administrator standpoint, it must be nice to set up the template for an entire campus or district to use for lesson plans and to be able to access everyone's lesson plans from one place. I also really appreciate the ability to pull up the standards and add them to the lesson plan without having to search them separately and type them out. I can also easily see which standards I have covered in previous lesson plans and which ones I haven't. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

I am not a core subject teacher, and I actually teach music. I am also diagnosed with ADHD, and have strategies that help me to plan when it comes to lesson plans, as well as a different structure for my lesson plans than the rest of the teachers. I wish the lesson plan editing was a little more user friendly and customizable, and I wish there were more options for printing as well. I would like to be able to put boxes intended for me to write notes and announcements when I print my lesson plans- but you cannot add shapes. I also would like to be able to have columns so I could put on one side what piece of music I am working on and on the other side I can put what the goals/teaching points/TEKS related to that piece we would cover that day.

Por ahora, no hay nada que me desagrade de Forethought. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

I like that I can use Forethought to see all of my classes. I like that the state standards are easily imported into my lessons. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

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. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

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.

I liked the main idea of Forethought. Being able to see all my classes' lessons on one screen was helpful, and there was a feature for team-planning. If you wanted to do your lesson in Word, you could attach it to your lesson. Many class subjects had their state standards ready to click and input into each lesson. Administrators could leave feedback directly in the lessons. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

It felt like a burden to try to copy plans from the team planner to my planner, or from my planner to the team planner, or from one day to another. Also, the state standards were supposedly easy to click and place in the lessons, but for my subject and grade level, they were the old standards from 10 years ago, with no way to update them. Our campus and district administrators were unable to view and had trouble seeing lessons. It became such a problem and took up so much of the technologists and principals time, we were asked to abandon it. We still have access to it, we are still allowed to use it, but we are not submitting lesson plans through Forethought any longer. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Me gusta que mis TEKS se llenen automáticamente para mis clases, así que es un sistema de señalar y hacer clic para obtener los TEKS en mis planes. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

No me gusta lo difícil que es hacer un plan de unidad para varios días. Enseño con aprendizaje basado en proyectos y no es propicio para mi planificación. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

La previsión es excelente para que pueda tener mis planes de lecciones listos y publicados cada semana para las clases. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Algunos aspectos de la edición de los planes de lecciones de previsión podrían mejorarse. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

The ability to share with others is the best aspect. My team has to only share their Forethought with me once, and then I have access to it as long as they are working for my school. I can easily toggle between the teachers I manage to check their progress. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Some of the tools are counterintuitive. For example, the set up of the scheduling can be challenging. We have a complicated schedule (rotating A and B days), so the initial setup is challenging, but once it is set up, you do not have to set it up again until the following school year.
