Product Description:
Designed for teachers, this software is a replacement for the traditional pen and paper planbook. Support for up to 20 classes (12 on any given day) and a user-definable school year. In addition to duplicating the functions of a traditional planbook, this software allows the user to:
- Attach files to lessons- never search a file cabinet for a handout again. Simply double click and access the files you used with a particular lesson
- Export to HTML or directly to an FTP server or .Mac- allow students to access the parts of your planbook you'd like them to see from home. Parents can check up on what happened in class and other teachers (special education, for example) can see what you are doing in class.
- Search- never look through a paper calendar trying to figure out when you taught projectile motion. Find as you type search locates the lesson you want
- Easily view single classes or your entire teaching schedule in one easy location
What's new in this version:
Planbook 1.2 fixes the following bugs:
Planbook 1.2 introduces the following new features:
- Users with weekly rotating lesson plans are no longer able to mess up their schedule rotation by creating holidays. Holidays shift the rotation schedule and this is not desired behavior for teachers with weekly rotating schedules. You are still able to designate non-school days by simply canceling the school day. This gives you the option to bump the days' lessons to the next occurrence of the course, but does not alter the rotation.
- A bug that caused issues when wednesday had 12 lessons is fixed.
- Planbook now is more thoughtful when providing feedback about the number of courses in a created planbook. Planbook won't let you create files with more than 12 lessons in a given day.
- Creating a holiday always bumps the scheduled courses for that day to the next day. If you do not want to shift your schedule, choose cancel lessons rather than create holiday.
Planbook 1.2 introduces the following new features:
- You can add times to your courses (Planbook-->Planbook Options menu item). Each course may meet at a different time on each type of school day. You can choose to show the times that courses meet in the main lesson view.
- Lessons, holidays/cancelled days and daily notes may now be synced to iCal for viewing on your phone, for example. Lessons will be placed into calendars with the name of your course and will utilize the times that you entered for your schedule. You can choose which fields to sync (Planbook-->Planbook Options menu item). The sync is one-directional- from Planbook to iCal and not vice-versa.
- Users can create cancelled school days using the Options-->Planbook Options menu item. These can be created singly or in bunches.

Great All-In-One Program - Version: 1.0.5, 8/30/2007 09:06PM PST

While student teaching, I set about searching for a class planning program that would help me unify the whole kit and kaboodle; my class plans, web links, MSW documents, .jpg images, .mp3's, you name it...
Out of three trial use demos, Planbook was hands down the best! A++ for user interface and simplicity!
What a wonder, to be able to have all of my documents linked together and organized! Plus the user- friendly interface for uploading the lesson plans, and other documents. Definitely an all-in-one resource!
Great for emergencies too, if I needed an extra handout, I was able to stay cool, quickly locate and print what I needed. Many thanks to Jeff Hellman!

Jeff is assiduously attentive to refinements, seeks and responds to customer feedback promptly. A good teacher's tool and developer worthy of investment. Looking forward to text formating and synchronization capabilities down the road.

I've played with it for about five minutes and I'm already drooling. I'm extraordinarily anal-retentive about my lesson plans and practice plans. I want everything neatly aligned and no wasted time. This looks like the software for me!
Thanks Jeff. I'll be in touch with further kudos and suggestions as I come across them, but so far this looks fantastic! Thank you!
