Like many, I’m anxiously awaiting my iPad to arrive- partially to play around but mainly to see if I can use it to create some useful software for teachers. While I know that Apple isn’t likely to let me get mine early, it’s tough to keep my hopes in check when it’s so close. If it really does make it to Eugene early tomorrow, maybe UPS could be kind enough to drop one of at my house?

And, yes, as of writing this UPS seems to be displaying tracking information about dates in the future. I haven’t ever seen that before so I’d guess something’s a bit wonky (hence the shipping exception) with the iPad delivery system.

Last week was spring break here in Oregon and after taking a few days off to start, I spent the remainder of the time working hard on polishing up Planbook and PlanbookConnect. Late in the week, Planbook 2.5 went final for Mac. This update includes the long awaited PlanbookConnect syncing and the introduction of assignments as a way to track work given out during class.

You can grab the 2.5 update using your built in auto-updater or directly here.

There’s a whole laundry list of new features and bug fixes which you can check out in the release notes.

As always, your feedback is much appreciated and vital to Planbook’s continued improvement.
