How has it helped me as a Middle School and Senior School Teacher in South Australia?

• This digital planner was designed for my own personal use as it improved my organisation for the teaching, leading, collaborating and learning aspects as a secondary school teacher. I share a digital planner with my faculty/Learning Area to support their teaching journeys each year, and thought I’d share with the wider community too.
• I needed space for recording weekly printing and to-do lists to minimise my mental workload so I had more opportunities to connect with students, colleagues, school community and my own family too.
• I wanted a space for my curriculum extension activities log and professional development notes.
• I wanted to minimise double-handling of information for improved efficiencies.
• Move towards a more eco-friendly option but still wanted to hand-write.
