Find a way to make Planbook load quickly like other Lesson Planning sites
I love all the customization and options in Planbook, but every time I navigate from one place to another on the site, even just to open a different lesson or click forward or backward between lessons in time, the program pauses, pops up the Planbook symbol in the middle of the page, and then takes about 2-10 seconds to load the targeted page. When plans are opened, they also hang for a few seconds before the different lesson plan segments open. No other online planner I've tested has this issue--there is virtually no wait time navigating between days or sections…

Include more features in the "standards reporting" export
I would love to be able to report standards not only by date taught but by unit, lesson topic, or other lesson features. Having something similar to the printing or view selection menu that would allow teachers to choose what information to include on the standards report would be very helpful for curriculum mapping.

Include LaTex support for PDFs
STEM educators often use LaTex for proper formatting of mathematics equations (e.g., ( g(x)=a(x−h)^2+k ) ) or in chemistry.
This is viewable in the online format but not when exported to PDFs.
As a mathematics educator who uses LaTex to present mathematics with appropriate formatting, I would appreciate this feature. Thank you6 votes -
Import Class Schedule
I just spent over an hour adding in all my classes as a high school teacher. I made so many mistakes flicking back and forth, getting confused with what week I was on etc. It would be so great if we were able to bulk-import our classes into the timetable from an excel spreadsheet (spreadsheet downloadable so the formatting is correct.

Integration with Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams
It would be highly beneficial to link Planbook with our Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams accounts. Currently, we can only connect our classrooms, but this feature has limited utility. It would be fantastic if we could automatically add student lists from Google Classroom into Planbook. Additionally, being able to display certain planning elements in the Google Classroom news feed would be incredibly useful.
Moreover, having the capability to post assignments and tasks planned in Classroom, as well as retrieve and transfer student grades from Classroom to Planbook, would greatly enhance efficiency. Essentially, Planbook should be able to communicate seamlessly with…

Embed plans into Google Sheets/Docs
I am asked to share my lesson plans with my principal each week via Google Drive. I want to be able to embed my Planbook into a Google Sheet/Doc that updates live whenever I need to adjust/move lessons instead of going in and changing everything manually. I know I can download them as Google Docs, but I don't like how it looks in the Google Doc format (Way too messy) and I don't want to use PDFs in case my Principal needs to leave a comment.

Limit dates for co-teaching lesson sharing
Allow collaboration / sharing with other teachers with the ability to select & restrict what they can see by dates.
My co-teacher could be given access to view and/or edit only specific days or classes and only for a set date range.
Example - I could share & allow editing on all my planning for classes on Weds, Thurs, Fri each week starting on October 7th and finishing December 14th.
I am only co-teaching from this week and want my co teacher to be able to edit directly on my plans for our shared days & classes but not be…7 votes -
Print option - Black borders on cells
Having black borders around each cell/class/subject when the page is printed would make them stand out better, sort of like with Google sheets. Perhaps it could be an option in settings so they could be customized.

Use Class Color for Lesson Editor Box
On the Plans page, I would love for each Lesson Editor (now blue) box to match the assigned color for each different class. Every time I'm working with a different-colored class, but the blue box pops up, I think I'm in the wrong class!

Add "Activity" type in Classwork
Right now Classwork only has Assignments and Assessments, but I would like to have "Activities" as well. Unlike Assignments and Assessments, Activities are only done in class (or online, depending on my course) and don't always have points attached.

Add warning message if a "duplicate" copy
Teachers copy the same plans over and over for the same week not realizing it has already copied. If there are plans already copied in that subject area for that week, there should be a notification so they don't copy it again. This bumps lessons forward for weeks without teachers realizing.

Option to edit and change Classwork Type
When I enter grades, I have to first remember to check off whether it is an assignment or assessment, and the default is an assignment. This means that I sometimes forget to check off that it is an assessment and there is no way to edit it...which means I then need to delete and enter in everything again. It is frustrating. This should be editable.

Integration with Google Tasks
The current integration of connecting Google Events to Planbook is great. I would suggest adding a feature to allow integrating Google Tasks.

Save "Stack View" as default
I wish I didn't have to start out in tab view and then switch to stack view. It'd be great if we could just start out in Stack View if that was our preferred view for our planner. Thanks!
