We’ve been working hard on Perspective’s Planning module and we’re excited to apply the finishing touches to this first phase of improvement. It’s been a healthy challenge for our team — especially as so many of our users take different approaches to planning! Our aim, as always, is to deliver a module that is the best planning module on the market!
There might be nothing wrong with it, but we always ask “is everything right with it?”
We hope these screenshots have whet your appetite for the next releases of the 5 Minute Lesson Plan and Perspective. We’ll keep you posted on the dates for these updates as soon as they are confirmed.
