Attention Edu-Track Home School
Users!

Your Lesson Plans for a $10 Coupon! |
Everyone knows that the most
time-consuming aspect of using the
Edu-Track software is inputting
those lesson plans! Even using
Edu-Track's time-saving Repeating
Activity feature, it still takes
a bit of time to create entries for
those daily lessons, reviews,
quizzes, tests, etc. With and
ONLY with your help, we should
be able to mostly ELIMINATE this
part of the planning process for
those that use standard curriculum.
Our plan to accomplish this is very
simple. We need every
Edu-Track user that has ever typed
in a lesson plan for any
standard curriculum to RIGHT NOW
export that course using Edu-Track's
built-in File/Export
Lessons/Activities.... feature
and then submit the exported plan
to us using our lesson plan upload
form located at:
http://www.contechsolutions.net/lessonplans/upload.
Upon receipt, we will verify, clean
up, and "sanitize" the plan by
removing children's names, etc.
Once we have completed this process,
we will post the cleaned-up version
of the plan and allow it to be purchased,
downloaded and easily imported into
any child's schedule in the
Edu-Track software. With your help,
we hope to ultimately have a fairly
complete list of all major curriculum
available to
help everyone perhaps completely
eliminate the need to manually enter
lesson plans!
For your plan to be accepted into
the repository, you must be the
first one to contribute the
lesson plan for that particular
curriculum/subject/grade-level/year
(or your plan must be significantly
better...e.g. more detail
than what was submitted by another
person, newer, etc.), and your plan
must encompass the entire subject
for that grade-level or
otherwise be as complete as
necessary for that particular
Subject/Course/Grade-Level. The
more current and the more detail in
the plan, the better, but we'll even
accept plans created with
Edu-Track's Repeating Activity
feature as long as the
appropriate addl. quizzes, tests,
reviews, and any other required
"to-do's" as described in the
curriculum were added to the
Edu-Track lesson plans before you
send them. If someone other than
you can purchase the current
curriculum for their children and
then use the lesson plan detail you
will submit to follow right along
with the curriculum, you know that
you will be submitting a good plan!

Incentive:
$10 Coupon for EVERY Great Plan That's Accepted!
$5 Coupon for EVERY Good Plan
That's Accepted! |
To show you we're serious about
completing our Lesson Plan
repository, for a
limited time (so hurry!), we will
give you a $10 coupon for
each and every Great plan that is submitted and
accepted into the repository.
Submit 3 good plans that are
accepted, get $30 in coupons, and so
on. Accepted
plans with not a lot of
detail, plans that cover < 1 year,
and niche curriculum plans with
limited use will still be worth a
$5 coupon (sorry - our judgment on what
is a good plan vs. a great plan is
final on this one!). Do not submit
incomplete lesson plans (that cover
only part of the curriculum) or any
other plan not tangibly
beneficial to other Edu-Track users
as these will not be
accepted. Also, do not submit plans
that are not substantially better
than the ones already listed in our
repository (view the sample plan for
that curriculum that we have to make
the judgment if your plan is
substantially better.
You will be able to use your
coupons to discount (or get for
free!) up to the amount of your
combined coupons for all lesson
plans and unit studies currently in
the repository.
Also, If you have good UNIT STUDY
entered into Edu-Track's Unit Study
feature that you would like to
share, use the Export feature on the
Unit Study screen and submit them -
accepted plans will receive the same
incentives ($10/$5 coupons/lifetime
upgrades) as those who submit lesson
plans. With your help, we
hope to have a large repository of
Unit Studies available for download
soon!
