Lesson Manager

What is Lesson Manager?

Lesson Manager is a helpful program for educators to help them organize activities, units, and standards. With the help of easy-to-use lesson manager, educators can easilt keep track of their units and the activities within them. Lesson manager gives educators a report on what standards they're not using in a particular unit, so that they know what else is needed to prepare students.

How do I install it?

Notes:

• Lesson Manager is not yet available for MacOS and Linux, although it will be soon. The following instructions are for 64-bit systems on Windows 10
• Lesson Manager is still in development, and there may be bugs in the program. If you encounter a bug, please submit a new issue on this repository's issue tracker.
• Lesson Manager is a bit bulky, so you'll need about 400MB of space free to install it. We're working on making it lighter!

To make your experience as easy as possible, installing Lesson Manager is as easy as 1, 2 - wait, there's not even a third step! Here's how:

And that's it! Enjoy your new tool in organizing your lessons!
