    Sorry for all the questions, but I’m really hitting my groove and starting to truly understand what this wonderful resource is.

     

    Okay, I have some assignments that are just marked “worked on” for several days, if not weeks.  I would like to attach notes to these assignments daily; but it looks like notes can only be attached when the assignment is marked “completed,” not “worked on.”  Am I seeing this correctly, or is there something I am missing?  If it isn’t a possiblity now, can it be in the future?

    Thanks!

    The way I have found the notes to work is that you can post a note everyday, but you’ll just be adding to the one you posted before. It attaches them as one big note, rather than a small note everyday. There is a place at the top of the Daily Plan to write a Daily Note. I’ve never used that feature, but I bet that would save individually instead of altogether. Does that make sense?

    It does make sense, but that was not the answer I was looking for!  Wink

     

    Hmm… off to think about how I’m organizing my notes now.  I thought I had it all figured out!

    Thanks!

    I assume you are doing an ongoing assignment like music lessons or art and marking it worked on each day. In that case you have just the one note field for the assignment that you can keep adding to. That can get unwieldy as the note gets longer, though.

    Another way you can set it up is to change the assignment to have divisions. For example, you might create enough divisions to last a month or six months or whatever works for you. Then name each division “Day”. Now you can mark each “Day” as finished and you can add a note to each one with any specifics you like.

    Would that work better for you?

    I will keep that in mind the next time I schedule her math book.  I’ll just put a note on the daily note section for now.  Thanks, Doug!

    I know that this doesn’t help with what the original posted did – but wanted to mention what I’ve done for music lessons.  (Now mind you, this is Suzuki, where the order of songs is constant and won’t be changed by the teacher…)

    I made a resource with the Suzuki Book 1 (used the ISBN lookup!) and created “Song” Divisions, and added the name of each song.  I marked as done all the songs that my son has “finished”.  Now in Suzuki, he isn’t really finished it – I can’t think the term that is usually used.  It isn’t his new song – and it isn’t the one he is polishing – I think it is called his Current Piece.   Then each week at his lessons, I mark “Worked on” on his new piece until the teacher is satisfied with it.  Of course, he might have worked on his older pieces, or he might even do some exercises that will be for a later piece – but I mark Worked On for his “new piece”.

    I also made a resource called Violin Practice (Suzuki Book 1), and assigned it to be used with the Suzuki Book 1 resource.  Each time he practices, I mark it as Worked On.  When he finishes book 1, eventually, I will mark it as finished, and create a new one for Book 2.

    I like the flexibility, that I don’t need to make notes, and that I am still showing his progress on reports etc.
