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…

Option to drop lowest grade
It would be helpful to add a feature to give the teacher the ability to drop the lowest grade for a semester or year. Right now they have to go in manually.

Download all lesson attachments
At the end of the year I want to download all the attachments to lessons. It would be so much work to go through and individually download them all. Please help out with this?

Separate grade categories within a class
I teach two languages and I have to report separately on speaking, listening, reading and writing. It would be nice to be able to create one class (English for example) and have separate sections of marks for each category as opposed to creating different classes for each category.
*Math also has several strands that must be reported on separately.2 votes -
Improve google drive picker
When I pull up drive to attach files, the organization of my files is different then it is on google drive. I see folders that should be inside other folders. It would be easier to find the files I want if the folders came up like they do in google drive. Instead I see every folder on the first screen even if it is actually inside another folder.

Create a portal for teacher info
When students go to the teacher website it would be nice to show students about my profile, general downloads (like forms, school information) that are related for most classes and all students. Other websites for teachers offer a portal, but Planbook lacks that. A picture of the teacher, etc. I wish students could reach to the portal first and then to the calendar.

Copy - Select multiple days or weeks
My weeks don't change much throughout the year. I teach a unit for 6 weeks, but throughout those weeks a lot of the same information is present in my plans. If I could copy an entire week and then go through and edit the changes for the week I wouldn't have to recreate every lesson every week. This would be much the same as I would do with Word; just open up the old document, make changes, then Save As a new date.

Exclude Google Calendar when printing
I LOVE that I can view my Google Calendar within my plans. Although when I print my plans for a sub, I really don't like that they see my personal calendar items. Please make it an option to not show calendar items when printing similar to how I can uncheck events or notes, when printing.

Mobile Apps - Add equal size boxes
I like keeping my lessons lined up across the page that way if I finish something one day I can continue to the next days plans without hunting for it. So I would like equal size boxes as a choice when I'm ready to print from the iPad app. Thank you

Quick add for students
There should be an option to "Save and add another" when adding students. The way it is set up now you have to click Save, then it takes you out of the popup box and you have to click add students again to add the next one. It would make for less clicking and a quicker process to add students!

Copy or Add Year - Skip or Preserve blank lesson days
When a school year is copied to create a new year, there should be a prompt that asks if we want any "bumped" days to be copied. There are a few subjects where I have bumped several days, resulting in days that just show my templates, and I must go and delete them all.

Keyboard shortcut to save/close lesson
When creating or editing numerous lesson plans in the desktop or laptop web browser, constantly switching from the keyboard to the mouse is inefficient and frustrating. The more that can be done directly from the keyboard, the better. At a minimum, it would be helpful to be able to save/close the lesson edit dialog without the mouse. A full set of keyboard hotkeys or shortcuts for lesson manipulation would be best.

Assignments types without weights
At this point, I cannot enter the type of assignment (classwork, homework, etc.) without assigning it a weighted percentage. I do not weight my assignments, but rather calculate final grades based on overall points earned/points possible. There should be the ability to assign the type of assignment without forcing you to weight them differently!

Allow multiple units for a lesson
I love being able to select a unit, however I teach from multiple books, so I would like to be able to specify which vocabulary unit we're on, for example, AND which literature unit we're on, AND which grammar unit we're on. :)
