    Hi, I am a freelance iOS developer and my mother is teacher who has asked me to create a timetabling application for her. Her basic idea was to replace her daily planner with an application that she can use on her iPad2. I am writing this post to ask about potential interest in such an application and also get some feedback on features that would be useful to a wider audience. Also, if a lot of interest is shown I can send Beta versions of the application to people who had iPads to test, test and test again before release. If anyone would be interested then please reply with any ideas/requirements. The basic idea is listed in more detail below: Daily Planner View: A view that shows 6 Periods with a notes section at the bottom. This view is split into two columns, one to add a lesson plan and one to add notes for any homework set. The lessons for each week can be saved in templates and then be loaded into a new day with a few button presses. All days are saved and can be printed/emailed for record purposes. Notifications can also be setup to remind when homework is due by a class. This can be set for any time/day. This is some of the basic functionality and more can and will be added from feedback from testing users.

    Hi. Very interested. The school is looking at making better use of technology and a few teachers now have iPads which we are putting to good use. The lack of a decent teacher planner app is a real nuisance. Look forward to hearing how you get on.

    Hi, I'd be very interested too. Sounds like a great idea! I would love it if the planner pages could be linked in with a timetable that you input perhaps once per year - with an option for 2-week timetables. Having to re-input your entire timetable into outlook every half term is a real pain! Look forward to hearing more about this.

    Hi there, I am very very interested" I have just spent ages trying to find exactly that! And all seem to relate to the UsA or are not quite like my teacher planner. I am happy with mine which is a book but would like that but on my iPad. Given that it would be on the iPad the added possibility of extra functionalities such as saving all lesson plans linked to specific lessons each day via a click or two, a page showing the timetable, whether a single or two week timetable ( which we have), registers for classes to keep record so homework, assessments, ability to perhaps even store power points, other resources or links to these??? Everything savable and email able and printable would be great! How long would it take you to set up? Could we have a notes tab for different meetings? Please let me know! Thanks

    I'm very interested! What a brilliant idea! A mark book section would be really handy too if that is even possible?! Xxx

    Hi,

     

    Very interested.  This seems like a brilliant idea.  When do you think this will be available?

     

    Thanks.
