This week we were supposed to create 3 lesson plans using the smart notebook software. While I enjoy the software, I was very frustrated. I felt as though everything took a lot longer than I thought it should. I spent 3 hours solid on one lesson. I also had several problems with the interactive tools and text motions not saving like they were supposed to. I had to redo several components and try to save again and still not getting them to work. They would work until I closed them and when I'd reopen them it all disappears..
Frustrated!

Isn't it amazing how something seemingly so simple can take so much time to create? Teachers spend a lot of time creating and organizing the units and lessons that they teach. Most of the really good teachers that I know work in the evenings and on the weekends as well. Luckily most teachers share what they create and it is fairly easy to modify these to meet your personal classroom needs. It might take five years or so but eventually you will have a nice library of materials to draw from.
