Two parent emails and phone numbers
It is a rare household that only has one email or one phone number anymore. I need to be able to record at least two parent contacts for each: email and phone number. Moreover, if they could be customized and I could add the parent name(s), that would be even better.

Integrate with Canvas
If possible, integrate Planbook with the Canvas learning management system by Instructure. Canvas has a calendar which will indicate what activities/assignments/quizzes are due on any particular day, but by no means does it offer the features, details, and flexibility of Planbook (for example, the ability to extend, bump, or pull back lessons). Planbook and Canvas are both excellent tools for educators, and it would be wonderful if such a merger could happen.

Allow assessments to repeat
I give weekly quizzes in some of my classes and would like to be able to schedule them en masse instead of individually each week. For example, the ability to schedule a quiz every Thursday for a given date range would be extremely helpful. It would also be great if you added a biweekly option.

Copy assigned unit with the lesson
When I copy a lesson within the same class, it should also copy the assigned unit. Otherwise I have to open the copied lesson and assign the unit EVERY time.

Print full year of plans
Print yearly calendar for better curriculum mapping. Also when printing horizontal it cuts off the date on the next page and places it on the page prior. Print to one page for one month!

Copy or Add Year - Select lesson sections / attachments
When importing lessons from another teacher, you get the lesson, the standards and the notes. I would like to choose what part I want to import. Most the time I only want to share the lesson, not the notes as they are specific to my class.

Allow Google Calendar items below plans
I wish I could put my lesson plans above the Google Calendars. I love the integration with Google Calendars, but I would like the option to put the plans first, so I can avoid scrolling down.

Unit plans to include lessons, assignments and assessments
When creating unit plans, I would love to be able to add my lessons, assignments and assessments, instead of having to go to a separate section. Maybe by offering a check box to indicate if this portion of the unit plan is a lesson, assignments or assessments.

Copy - Select multiple lessons
When in the class section and you show all lessons for importing a lesson, it would be great to click on the previous lesson and it automatically select that date as the starting date and then either ctrl click or shift click for the end range.

More control over Lesson Heights
I would like to set the height of my lesson plans as one height, and the height for my events as a separate height. I hate that on days I have events (no school) that my lessons have this stair step look to them when looking at multiple classes. I would like to set that event space as a specific height and then set the height of my class lessons as different height so it looks more uniform. - Yes, I'm type A and like things to look orderly.

Add search option to Student View
The ability for students to see all their courses at once.
It would be even better if Planbook would integrate with our SIS (Senior Sytems).
I am also requesting that students be able to hide sections as needed. For example, a student might only want to see their homework.
Adding a "search" feature for the students would be amazing. Sometimes students want to find a link or activity, but they do not know what day it was on.
An undo button.
The ability to mark as completed (student view) or add to calendar, obviously if student had ability to log…3 votes -
Clear all lesson attachments
Since the list of attachments gets so long, we should have a button to clear or empty the list of attachments.

Allow admin to use teacher view settings
A selection for administrators that would allow them to mirror the same settings as teachers. This would help when doing PD with faculty on how to use Planbook.

Make easy to add many assignments at once
It would be really awesome if the screen to enter assignments was in a Spreadsheet format (see http://web.peoriadesignweb.com/spreadsheet/index.php as an example). Then, a person could enter the Class, Unit, Type, Title, Starts on, Ends on, Total Points, and Lesson text all on in the spreadsheet without all the mouse clicking on buttons, etc. (which is web technology from the 90s). Even better, if a person already had such information in their own spreadsheet, then you could have the capability to copy the data from your own spreadsheet and paste it into the online spreadsheet. This would be so much faster!

Add Google Calendar items to Student View
Google Calendar items that are incorporated into our plans would be good to have viewable when the students are viewing plans on their devices. Example, a Memory calendar that is updated in iCal, automatically updates a Google Calendar, of which the students will see what their Memory assignment would be when checking Planbook.

Add students to certain periods only
I love planbook but it's not completely geared towards secondary. I teach high school and we have many periods. I love the feature where you can add students and grades but you can't add certain students to certain class periods. You can only add them to a class only. I would like to keep all my students separated by periods, not all 160 together. It's not practical when entering grades. It's not practical to add a different class for each period if it's the same prep. I want to do one lesson plan but have different periods for that one…
