have the option to apply changes to a lesson that has been extended.
There are times when I have completed a lesson plan and have clicked the extend button, but then realized I made a typo or forgot to put something in. When I go to edit the original lesson that was extended, I have to go through and make this change on the day to which the original lesson was extended. It would be great to have an option that allows me to copy these changes to those lessons that have been extended from the original one. Something like, "Do you wish to make these changes to extended lessons as well?"

Allow lesson sections unique to class
Different template settings for content areas. Allow math to be different from science lesson plans.

Multiple teachers to a class
Allowing multiple teachers in the same class for Special Education teachers and General Education teachers to actively collaborate on lessons within Planbook. This could also work well for any schools that have teams that want to all teach the same thing on the same day.

Share a Lesson Bank
My colleagues and I "divide and conquer " entire units and curriculum. If we could put these lessons in a central sharable bank it would be more efficient than only being able to share scheduled units.

You can now enter individual teacher emails, select specific classes or lesson banks, and set view or edit rules for each lesson section.

Full-screen View for Projecting on Smartboards and Promethean Boards
Create a Full-screen View option to allow teachers to project their lesson plans, homework, learning targets, etc. in a readable size for students to view from their desks. This image would work well on Smartboards and Promethean Boards. Then, students could easily read over the lesson plans, homework, or learning targets as they come into the classroom. In fact, I could have my DOL (Daily Oral Language) up for them to work on since DOL is the first item on my lesson plan. Then, I could quickly scroll down through the homework and learning targets. Currently, I have to zoom…

Complex unit planning.
I teach high school English and have large, thematic units. I would love it if the unit blocks were larger and had tabs (similar to the lesson blocks). I want space to not only list the various lessons that will be incorporated into each unit, but also space to keep track of notes and materials for those individual sub-units.
When I teach a novel, for example, if I build that information into a lesson it isn't easily accessible for the entire unit.

Full Screen View
In the past, you could view your plans without a static task bar at the top of the page. This was ideal for those of us who show our "Day" view plans as an agenda on a projector screen in our classrooms. Can you add this back, or put this idea in motion?

Can you increase size of scroll bar on side of lessons? Much smaller than previous yrs. Hard to maneuver as it's so thin and blends in.

allow text in the grade box in the grade book.
in my special education class, not all assignments are for all students. I'd like to be able to put a code like N/A in the box w/o it effecting the overall grade. This also helps me scan the class assignment column and see exactly who hasn't complete an assignment. Now I have to look at each student individually and hope I wrote a note about why I don't have the assignment.
3 votesWe now allow letter codes to signify when a lesson is excused, incomplete, or missing. Hope that helps! Do not hesitate to contact us at support@planbook.com with any questions. Thanks!

Give the ability to print a "missing or 0" assignment page for each student
This is necessary prior to progress reporting and report cards. We need to be able to give students a printout of what they are missing.
