Being a teacher is not so easy: you need to prepare a competent lesson plan, select interesting tasks (since there are often not enough tasks in textbooks or are not suitable for specific students), check tests, and record progress. These tasks become much more complicated if there are several groups or students. To make routine processes easier, we have compiled a selection of Internet resources and computer programs.

1. Lesson plan maker

A lesson plan is the key to a good and effective lesson, which will help not only to build a lesson harmoniously and consistently, but also to analyze (yes, don’t forget to analyze the lesson, what went well, what didn’t go according to plan, why this happened, what can improve). However, you often have to face the problem that you wrote it in a hurry on a piece of paper and forgot it at home or wrote it down in your diary, which weighs a ton and by the end of the year you get tired of carrying it with you. A good solution is to create lesson plans online or in an app.

If you love colorful lesson plans, then Canva is for you. Here you can select a lesson plan layout, edit it, download it as a pdf and print it or save it on your computer/phone.

Computer programs are available, such as Every teacher’s lesson plan builder

A good way to have a lesson plan always at hand is to create it online, for example, on the English Lesson Planner website, you must register to use all the functions. When creating a lesson plan on this site, you can write down not only the goals and stages of the lesson, but also attach all the materials, therefore, get access to all the necessary materials from any medium and not worry that you will forget something at home. Moreover, they are easy to return to and reuse if the lesson is repeated year after year.

You can also download an application to your phone, for example, Planboard, which has the ability to create class schedules, lesson plans, and plan templates.

2. Printable worksheet makers

Vocabmaker, Tools for Educators and TheLanguagyMenu are wonderful sites that will help you create bright, visual online handouts that you can then print, for example word searches, dice, board games, crosswords, bingo, mazes, dominoes, tracings, handouts.

More online tools – cooltoolsforschools
Computer programs such as Bingo Card Generator, Crossword Creator, Vocabulary Worksheet Factory (word search, word cloud, decoder ring, sentence shapes), etc. are also suitable for creating handouts.

3. Quiz maker

Of course, the easiest way to do a quiz is in Microsoft office or PowerPoint, but there is a great program called Quizfaber that allows you to create multimedia quizzes. You can create and manage many types of questions: multiple choice questions, multiple choice questions, true or false questions, open-ended questions, fill-in-the-blank exercises and matching words, audio and video questions. Once created, the quiz can be sent to the student, saved, or printed.

4. Image editors

Often, when preparing for classes, you need to edit pictures (crop, cut something out), make flashcards or collages, slide shows and much more. If you are still not comfortable with Photoshop, then try the Picasa program, which is much easier to use. An online alternative is befunky, where you can also edit images and create collages. To create clouds with words – Wordcloud, to create mind maps – Coggle.

5.MovieMaker

If you need to process a video for a lesson, Movie Maker is perfect. Program features:

Trimming or splicing videos
Inserting Images
Create a slideshow from images
Audio overlay
Adding titles and credits
Creating transitions between video fragments
Adding simple effects

The online program online-video-cutter will be useful if you need to trim a small video file online. Does not require installation and works directly in the browser, crops edges or changes the aspect ratio of the video, rotates the video by 90, 180 or 270 degrees. Also on this site at the top you can find links to pages for cutting and combining audio, video and audio conversion.

6. Grades keeper

If you have a lot of students, then you can’t do without Grade keeper, where you can grade both tests and homework and class work. More details can be found in video. The cost of this program for individual use is $20.
You can do all of the above for free in Excel; the website web.mit.edu has templates and a training video. More templates can be found at WordTemplates.
