Introducing the Favorite button in Goalbook Toolkit! With a single click you can organize all of your favorite resources in one convenient place for easy access whenever you need them again. Designing instruction with Goalbook Toolkit has become even more efficient.

All of the resources that you “favorite” will be conveniently organized so you can access them whenever you need them.

Life happens. Don’t let it stop you from planning high-quality instruction.

It has happened more than a few times: you are planning instruction with Toolkit, and you find a resource that would help one of your students really grasp a concept that they’ve been working on for a while. Then, life happens and you’ve got to put your planning down to take that important call, pick up your copies from the copy room, or go to that staff meeting. Once you are finally able to get back to planning, your browser window has been closed, and the resource you found earlier is gone.

Whether you are creating learning targets, designing instruction, or researching strategies for a student, organizing those resources is critical. Now you can save time and never lose your planning resources by using the Favorite button in Goalbook Toolkit.

Demonstration of “favoriting” an instructional resource for fifth-grade reading standard Rl.5.1 and accessing the Favorites tab.

Once you discover the strategy, anchor page, or learning target that you need, click on the blue Favorite button to save it to your Favorites.

Anytime you need to access that resource again, you can click on the Favorites tab to see everything you saved with the most recent resource at the top of the list.

Getting back to where you left off is as simple as clicking on a link from your list of Favorites.

So after you get back from that staff meeting, you can easily jump back into planning!

Favorites are not limited to one type of resource: you can add strategies, instructional goals, and anchor pages to your Favorites.
