Add a floating "sticky note" option
That way I can quickly attach reminders, such as run off more copies or call a parent. These would be reminders that I don't want attached to my lesson plans.
199 votesA “Teacher Notes” feature has been added to planbook.com! To view your teacher notes, click the teacher notes icon (looks like a sheet of paper). Please contact us at support@planbook.com with any questions.
Thanks!

Add a To Do list
I would love to see a to do list section! Not attached to a single class or lesson but at the top, similar to the notes. Even the notes section would work for this if there were check boxes so that I could check things off as I finished. This would be a fantastic place to keep things that need to be done at school like copies, pages to print, lamination, etc.

Different colours for classes
Colours are limited, but many shades available. I would prefer many different colours rather than shades.

Add notes for day, week, class, student
I really like to keep lists and stuff in my planbook. There is one 'notes' tab. It would be great to have the option of more notes under that tab.

Allow tables in lessons
Being able to add a table would help in organizing the lesson plans. We are expected to explain what we are doing and what the students are doing throughout the lesson. Creating a table would make this so much easier.

Add multiples times to a class on one day
Sometimes due to scheduling, I have to split a class (e.g. math) into two sessions on one day. Unless I am incorrect, I have to create two mathematics classes so I can do this. For example, if I have math from 9:00 - 9:30, then have to stop from 9:30 - 10:00 for PE, and then return to math from 10:00 - 10:30, I have to create two different classes. Under normal circumstances, this is okay - - - except when I need to bump or extend a lesson, in which case I end up getting everything out of order.…
159 votesYou can now add extra class lessons to your schedule! This will allow you to teach a particular class more than once in a single day, or to teach a class on a day when it’s not normally scheduled. To add an extra class lesson to a day, click More → Add Extra Lesson.

Lesson Editor previous and next
It would be really nice if you had a back and foward button in the pop up edit window so that it was easy to switch between editing days without having to close the window then clicking on the next day.

Individual student accounts
While my coworkers and I love your program, it is a bit of an inconvenience for our students and parents to have to log in to different teachers or go to different book marks and then find the right class among 8 other classes (we're on traditional block middle and high school) for every class. It would be really great if there was a way for students to create their own accounts and subscribe to specific classes from different teachers, that way my 8th graders can see all their homework in one spot, whether it's history, English, math, or whatever,…

Add month view for ALL classes
Hello. I think it would be a good idea to have an option to view a whole month, just keeping the top line or two from each class so the title is visible. This would give teachers a quick way to see what is in store for the month to come.
139 votesThe month view will now show all classes and events! As with the other views, you can use the View Bar to hide any classes or items you do not want display. If you have any questions, please contact us at support@planbook.com

Today highlighted

Allow teachers to decorate plans
I think it would be awesome if we could decorate our own planners- ex. Erin Condren style. Like a fancy electronic planner! Maybe electronic stickers we can add for parties/staff meetings/ dentist appointments/ holidays/ trainings/ themes. Teachers LOVE to decorate planners! I have a personal planner but I love my plan book! Also if you could include and easy lesson plan template that looks well designed that would be awesome as well (incuding assessment goals).
125 votesFor teachers who enjoy visuals in their plans, you can now add stickers! Stickers allow you to showcase student birthdays, school events, holidays and reminders.
To add a sticker to your plans, click the "Action" icon on the day you would like your sticker, and select "Add Sticker".

More repeat options for events
Can you add more option so that we can customize our events. For example I have meeting on the 3rd Tuesday of the Month. In the Repeat drop down, customize it so that teachers have the option to customize their meetings, instead of what you have now (weekly, biweekly, month). There is no option to customize my meetings at all.
Please add this in.....118 votes -

Allow separate Student/Parent/Admin views
My principal wants to see my entire plans online. My students only want to see the relevant homework for their own classes. Since my administrator does not have planbook, the only opportunity is to share everything to everyone. Kids: overwhelmed! Could we have the option to share various versions? Maybe per class if we want?
113 votesGood news! You can now create as many “View” links as you’d like, and each can have its own unique set of information to share (classes, lesson sections, lesson status, date range, etc.) This allows you to define unique Views for students, parents, substitutes, administrators, or any other group you’d like!
You can also now include “View Notes” for each View, to provide any general information you’d like to share that is not tied to a specific day or week.

Allow the user to choose the order of sections under "display." This way when they are displayed or printed, the user can choose to have "objective" first or perhaps "lesson."
