LessonNote is an innovative classroom observation tool for documenting the flow of a lesson and its impact on students. Capture both quantitative and qualitative data: • Track who is talking to whom, when, and for how long. • Jot handwritten notes about what is being said and what students are doing. • Take photos of student work. • Capture time spent in different modalities: whole-class, individual work, group work. After a lesson, efficiently review your data for a student-focused conversation that improves teaching and learning. LessonNote is ideal for peer observation, coaching, instructional rounds, and of course for Lesson Study. For administrators, LessonNote improves on simple checklists or rating scales by helping document how lessons affect students—which is, ultimately, what teaching is all about.

  • This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• Rotate the seating chart to match your point of view • Note headers show elapsed time since the last modality transition * Supports landscape orientation and windowing • Improved grid view - see more of your notes at once • Improved PDFs • FIXED: Notes created in dark mode display properly in light mode and vice-versa • Importing a lesson from an archive, the progress indicator now shows progress • FIXED: Seating charts can now be imported from a export file. • Entity icon sizes are larger. Removed labels from the seating chart thumbnail in session review. • Workaround for a past bug – which was finally fixed in v 5.0 – that left lessons with no stroke data. When there is no stroke data, the app will use the saved composite raster image. • Improved help for new users. On-line user guide has been updated. • Free users are warned when a lesson approaches 15 notes. • FIXED: Deleting an entity attached to notes – if you cancelled when warned, it *appeared* as though the entity was deleted (even though it was not). • Lots of under-the-hood code cleanup.
