    Please forgive me if this is a silly question and the answer is clearly stated somewhere and I have missed it, but are all the resources for an SCM module pre scheduled in the organizer, or do you have to manually enter everything?

    Also, I am trying to figure out how to document everything when using an SCM module…I have always used a pencil and paper type of organizer/lesson planner, where I also included things like co-op, piano lessons, sports, field trips, etc. can you capture all this info with the organizer? Anyone else make the switch to “digital” from paper and live to tell the tale???

    TIA!

    Anne, the books in the Modules are in the Bookfinder.  Click on “schedule it” and all you have to do is assign it to a person and select the details – what days, etc.

    As for the others, I added my own resources called “Field Trip”, etc and added ___ divisions.  I scheduled that for Saturday so it is not in my way, but on the days that we take these trips, I open it add notes of what we did and where we went, save the note and mark it finished for that assignment. It is not complicated once you do/see it.

    I have made the leap and I am very, very happy with my choice.  =)

    Sheraz gave you the correct info.

    I have made resources for things like

    violin lessons, swim lessons, concerts, field trips, violin practice, etc.  I have varried a bit on how I’ve organized the divisions for those types of things….   here are some examples…

    violin lessons – we do suzuki so the songs are done in order of the book.  I would mark an item worked on, until the teacher had them do something for the next song – then I’d mark the one song “done”, and mark “worked on” for the new song.  (you always are working on all the songs you have learned so far….)

    violin practice – I’ve done several methods, including just not bothering…  one that was simple was to have the division of “month” – then mark “worked on” until the last day of the month, and then mark “completed”.  Doing our 100 day challenges, I have a different one with 100 divisions marked “day”.  If we miss one, I remove the resource, as they no longer are eligable for the award.

    violin concerts – There are several set concerts in our year – so I have divisions set up for each of them – then a few extra that I can move up if they do something extra…  (like get asked to play in church….)

    field trips – have a few divisions set – and yes, I schedule it on Saturday, then open it up and mark it when we do one.

    swim lessons – I have a resource for each level of swimming in their swim program.  mark “worked on” until they pass – sometimes there are a LOT of dates showing, as it can take more than a year to pass!

    etc.

    generally, if you aren’t sure on how to do one – ask!  we can be pretty creative with ideas on how you might want to record some of these types of things!

    We also have a video explanation of entering things like piano lessons, field trips, etc.
