How to Create a Bank Unit
Lesson Banks provide a way to capture lessons and units that are independent of any specific class or dates. Banks can also provide a central repository for your classes, units, and lessons. Rather than replicating lessons into each class and year of your plans, you can store the lessons once in a bank, and then simply link them into your schedule as needed. Bank Units allow you to easily organize your stored lessons.
To add a new unit to a lesson bank:
- From the Planbook Bar, select Units.
- Click the Add (+) icon in the top-right menu.
- Enter a Unit ID for the unit. Unit ID is a "quick reference" code for the unit, and we encourage using numbers (1, 2, 3, …) to show unit order.
- Enter a Unit Title for the unit.
- If desired, click the Pick Color (palette) icon to select a new color for the unit.
- Use the Class dropdown to select a bank for the unit. Banks will be noted by B in a blue circle.
- Add content to each lesson section as desired. Content added to lesson sections will be available to show in all lessons connected to the unit.
- Click the Save (checkmark) icon in top-right menu to save your changes.
