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.

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.

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?

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.

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…

Print My List descriptions independently
While the standards description might not be necessary on the lesson plans, the description for "My List" items might be. It depends how you use that section I suppose. In my case, I'd like to be able to have the descriptions for "My List" items, but not the standards. Also, it would be nice if one could select default options when printing.

Create new unit from lesson editor
It would be nice if when you were making a leson, in the drop down menu to assign a unit, there was an option to "create a new unit." This would make it easy to group sets of lessons that only last for one week.

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. :)

Mobile Apps - Portrait view on tablet
I would love to be able to view my plans in portrait orientation on the iPad app, especially when looking at a single day.

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.

Attach files to Views (Students, Substitutes, etc)
I would love to be able to upload files to the notes pages. Sometimes there is a particular document that I want students to practice daily but I do not want to write it in my plans daily. Also, if this option was available on the sub notes page I could upload all important documents such as, class lists, fire drill forms, extra handouts etc.

Integrate with Schoology
A lot of teachers seem to be using LMS's (Learning Management Systems) more and more. From my research (and now personal use) Schoology is becoming very popular, but one thing you can't do with Schoology is good lesson planning within the LMS. I know lots of teachers would like a one-stop type place to take care of business (which is why you get requests for things like adding a gradebook to your program), and Schoology integrates third party apps for use right within their system, such as Google Drive, Evernote, Remind, Khan Academy, YouTube, just to name a few. Having…

Print without templates
Add a check box under the print options "Templates" just like you have under viewing so that I can print my lessons with or without the templates. I use the templates mostly for details to give a sub. I don't need them printed for myself when I make a hard copy as they are the same every time.

Drag and drop classes (schedule) in plan view
I would like to be able to drag and drop in plan view to change my schedule for specific classes if need be. Right now if I want to switch the 10:00 class and the 2:00 class I have to go into each class and adjust the time with the custom time check box. I would like to drag my 10:00 class down to 2:00 and 2:00 to 10:00.
I would also like to be able to move from day to day. Right now the move function allows you to move a lesson to a different day but not a…63 votes -
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.

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.

Make units automatically update
I wish when I entered my units and put the dates in that they would automatically be put into my lesson plans. It seems repetitive to have to put the dates in when I putting my units in and then also have to go to each individual day and add the lesson to the unit.
OR
I know how many days each unit takes. I wish I could enter a start date and then enter how many days the unit will take and it would automatically put it in my plans.
