How to Use the Teaching.Tools Lesson Planning Tool

To use the Teaching.Tools Lesson Planning Tool, users can visit the website and click 'try it out' without creating an account. However, creating an account is also an option and it's free. Once in the tool, users can start with a blank lesson and add the title, duration, class size, and other information. The tool allows for customization and editing of activities. There is a 'design ideas' feature that provides feedback and tips from pedagogy experts, which is especially useful for new instructors. The tool saves the lesson plan automatically if an account is created. It also has a print feature to format and print the lesson plan for use in class.
