Spryte Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Scholaric.com. It's online, which isn't what I wanted. But I truly like it, and it fills the need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just signed up for a 15 day trial. It works on my iPad which is helpful because or the portability. We will be studying all over the place. We don't have a classroom per se.

Mrs Mungo Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Did you make your own forms? What kind of forms? I have made schedules, checklists, book lists, etc, but they are all just spreadsheets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few threads on it here, you might want to read through them for some useful tips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few threads on it here, you might want to read through them for some useful tips. I'm doing the free trial of scholaric too. Find them on facebook also because he posts little updates and things. most of my school stuff is really ' do the next thing' and what I really needed was something to integrate my calendars with school planning. So now I'm using google calendar and a great app called calengoo. Thee was a thread recently I about a blogger called four squares and she tipped me off on the calendars features. Lemme know if you need a link and I'll get it when I get home to my desktop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpedIntoTheDeepEndFirst Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I make tables in Word (probably equally easy in Pages)--Word should convert to Pages and then be able to be viewed on an iPad. Very easy to put dates on the rows and plans in columns-you can cut and paste to change plans and adjust up or down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilbean05 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Home school skedtrak works great for us. It is a bit time consuming to set up, and there is a bit of a learning curve too, but once you get the hang of it, it is pretty great. Oh, and it is free!

DawnM Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 How could one use excel with an iPad? On numbers? Can you go from excel on the computer to numbers automatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
