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…

Attach from a Google Team Drive
We collaborate a lot and post documents that we both use in a Google Team Drive. I would like to be able to attach one of the documents in our Team Drive to my lesson without making a copy in my own Drive.

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. :)

Add cycle days to events
My school runs on a 6-day cycle. I would like to be able to schedule events/activities that happen ONLY on a specific day in the cycle, not a "day of the week". For example, students that have band/musical instrument lessons, or special services like Speech, or "book buddies" once per cycle.
Right now, I am scheduling them "weekly" just so that I have the information in my lesson plans.In scheduling an event like this, could there be an option in the drop down box to schedule on a particular day of the cycle? I know on the “School Year…

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…64 votes -
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.

Integrate with Microsoft OneDrive
Uploading from onedrive would save much time and energy. Right now I have to download a file from onedrive, save it in my downloads and then upload to planbook. That's ridiculous. I should have the option to upload directly from the cloud.

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.

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.

More options for standards grading
In grade book, I would like to have standards based grading. Instead of the traditional A,B,C for grades, it would be a 4 point scale. Overall grade would be calculated based on median of recent grades, decaying weights, power law, mode of recent scores, highest, or average of recent scores (these would be options in a drop down box so the teacher could decide)

Align start date from prior year
Due to school starting later this year it is cumbersome to copy lessons from last year and paste them to this year. Each time I go back to last year I have to back up 4 weeks. Is there a way to align the start dates from last year and this year, so that when I view previous years it will show the same school day that I am working on? For example, if I am working on "School Day 1" and go back to last year it would display "School Day 1" from last year?

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.

Share lesson with teachers
Send a lesson to someone else. So, if I write lesson plans for a particular lesson, I can send that lesson to my teaching partner, who could accept it and put it in her own lesson plans.
