What GoPlans is
GoPlans is a paid online platform for creating, sharing, collaborating on, and storing lesson plans. Educators can work in the same plan at the same time, while schools control which teachers may add or modify specific plans. A browser-based WYSIWYG editor supports school and district templates, and teachers can revisit plans from earlier academic years. Search covers lesson-plan content and displays results over time; heat-map analytics show content patterns. Educators can find standards and drag them into plans to connect standards with lesson material. Schools and districts can embed curriculum maps, pacing guides, schedules, calendars, and other resources. GoPlans generates customizable PDF plans for printing, saving, or emailing. Teachers and administrators can monitor plans, search, and provide feedback from iPhone, iPad, and Android devices. Simplex handles hosting, setup, user management, monitoring, updates, and maintenance. The service requires an internet connection and modern browser; Adobe Acrobat Reader is listed for viewing or printing. Pricing varies by user count and is available on request.
