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.

Print out individual student logins and passwords.
I'd like to print out individual student logins and passwords so I can hand each student their individual login/account info.

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!

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.

Show notes for Google Calendar items
I appreciate the integration of the Google Calendar events! Is there a way that the notes with the Calendar events can be seen on Planbook? Or perhaps a way to add notes to Google Calendar items?

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.

Make lesson list view one click away.
It would be incredibly handy to be able to right click on a lesson plan for one of my many classes and have the option to go to the list view for just that class. This would expedite something that I find myself doing all the time, as not all classes, even on the same grade level, progress at the same pace.

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.

Back button should return to prior week
Back button in browser should return you to the week you were looking at. Right now, if you provide a link to students to the calendar, the page always returns to the week of the current date. So, if a student is looking forward or backward a few weeks and clicks on a link, when they hit the back button on the browser, they are no longer looking at the week of interest- instead they are looking at the current date. That is a real hassle.

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!

Different Layout for Specialty Teachers
Specialty Teachers teach one to five sections of each grade level, so is there a way we could make the columns be the grade level instead of the days of the week? We need a way for specials teachers to use this easier... For example, I teach 303, 302, 306, and 304 all from 9:30-10:20 on four of the five days of the week. Right now I have to copy and paste or "extend" the class to copy them over... but I would LOVE to be able to just use the columns for each grade level but still with this…

Add Auto Correct feature
I would love it if the program could correct typos as I'm writing lessons so I don't have to keep going back to correct grammatical errors.

Switch plans between days
I re-use plans from the previous year but sometimes need to switch the order of lessons to fit the new schedule. It would be great to simply be able to switch plans rather than have to bump, copy, move, and delete current plans in order to switch them.

Attach RECENT Google Documents
I like how we can attach Google Documents....but...what would be even better... Getting to the document you want can be a pain...especially if it's a document you've been recently working on. At the top of the upload screen...you should have another tab that linkes to "recent documents." Many times I'm working on documents while I'm doing lesson planning...this would save a lot of time attaching my document. To see an example, check out Google Classroom. When I go to post and assignment or annoucement...there are tabs at the top including "Drive" and "Most Recent Documents."

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. :)

Create a full version offline app
The ipad version is great, but I'd love a full version app that could be used offline and would sync once back online. This would be especially helpful for schools with spotty service or rural areas that do not have access to unlimited internet.

Merge Lessons
Merge Lesson's. If I do lesson 1 and have extra time and decide to do lesson 2 as well on the same day I want to be able to move subsequent lessons back without losing any lesson information. Putting lesson 3 on the day where lesson 2 was.
