Add check boxes to lessons
I want checkboxes in my lesson outline so I can know how far I get in case I underplan or skip a step and want to do it next time. This would be an addition to the numbering system or bullet point system. Bonus points if I can digitally check the box.

Print attachments with lesson
I already have all the attachments to my lessons on my computer. I was hoping that by uploading them to my plans in Planbook I'd be able to hit print and my lesson and all attachments would print. It doesn't make any sense for me to have to download the attachments or go back into my computer and print those separately when I could just write my lesson plan in Word instead of Planbook and paste in the things I want to add (like posters, handouts, etc.) so it's all in one place.

Write-in Standards
Can you make a write-in option for the standards section? 99% of the time, I use the common core standards that are already available, but every once in a while (SBAC prep, etc), it would be nice to write in "Comprehensive review of grade level standards" or something to that effect.

Scrolling Month View
It would be handy to have the month view show in a continuous fashion so that I could scroll down (or using arrows?) to show prior / next weeks. So, for example, I show April in the month view, but the first week was spring break, so I really want to show the 2nd week of April as the top row, with more rows showing more weeks (extending into May).
So it would be great to either specify the start/end dates for month view (instead of just the month) or allow month view to extend so I can see upcoming…

Print dates at top of every page
When I print a weekly plan, the second page does not have the dates on the top of the page. I am continually having to write the dates in at the top for each day. It would be nice for it to be a feature "include dates on all pages"

Save lessons pushed beyond end of class
Every time I have to bump lessons back, lessons are deleted at the end of the class. I would like planbook to NOT delete them, but rather save them and add them back to the end of the term if I delete days. Currently when I get to the end of a term I have blank boxes where I USED to have lessons.

Allow multiple sections for a class
Have the ability to enter multiple start and end times for one class. I teach the same class 4 periods a day. I would like to enter the different start and end times for each of those periods without having to set up 4 different classes. All the lesson plans for them are the same.

Default hyperlinks to new tab
I read a post that said this was completed, but links do not open in a new tab by default. I would like this to at least be an option if not default. I like to use my plans with links to resources so I dont have to tab between documents and can open when I want them from the page. Having to navigate back to my lesson plan after using a link is tedious.

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 Sub Notes with Plans
It would be nice to be able to print Substitute Notes along with a day's plans just as we can with regular notes. This way it can all be in one file rather than two.

Copy or Add Year - Select lesson sections / attachments
When importing lessons from another teacher, you get the lesson, the standards and the notes. I would like to choose what part I want to import. Most the time I only want to share the lesson, not the notes as they are specific to my class.

Use Google Classroom assign date
Google classroom assignments should show up in planbook for the day they are assigned. Give people the option to choose if they show up on the due date.

Delete multiple lessons at once
having a check box to delete multiple lessons at once on the teacher plan book page would be awesome. Especially when you have a lot to delete!

User defined codes in gradebook
I love the gradebook. I'd like an option where I can create my own codes. For example, if a student isn't in our room because of a behaviour issue, then I'd like to put NIR (not in room) under an assignment or SH for sent home. I'd also like to have an option where I can just put a checkmark that it was completed or one of my codes for why it wasn't.

Add class location
Not everyone always teaches in the same room. Having the option to list the location of the class on the plan would be very useful, particularly when the location has an impact on the types of activities that can be carried out in the lesson, for example, when a science lesson is held in a regular classroom rather than a laboratory.

Partial "No School Day"
Frequently we have assemblies or events in which a few classes are canceled for the day. Rather than having to go into each one and choose "No Class Day" for each one, it would be nice when adding an event, it automatically canceled classes during the time of the event. When choosing "No School Day" it cancels the entire day and not just the events during the event time.

Teacher search by state/subject
I'm teaching Arkansas History for the first time this upcoming year. I'd like to find other similar teachers in our state that may be using planbook.com and might be willing to share lessons. The only way to accomplish such a request is to be able to search for teachers by subjects and ask if they'd be willing to share or collaborate. I also teach German which isn't too common in Arkansas so it would be nice to collaborate with teachers of other states where German is more prevalent. With all of the technology we have, it is a shame that…
