* Is there anyway to have the “start date” default to today’s date? I end up just hitting the down arrow and choosing whatever is on top from the browser’s autofill. I think this would be fairly simple. Perhaps a javascript (or whatever is used now – been a few years!) link I could click to autofill today’s date?
* I love the weekly overview, however I use several books for some subjects (so history has American, world and biography), and we study more than one language, so would it be possible for the overview to list the resource title (perhaps shortened to a certain number of characters) instead of the subject. So instead of just “Foreign Language” we’d see “Visual Latin” or “The Fun Spanish”, etc.
I just love all the new updates you are doing! I’m very excited to be using the CMO, it works the way I think.
We do have on our wish list to make the start date default to today. It doesn’t do it right now, but it’s something we’re considering adding sometime in the future.
Does the discussion in this thread sound more along the lines of what you’re thinking for the weekly overview?
In a way, but I think that is about putting the assignments on the weekly overview. I would just like it to say, instead of “History” the resource name, like “Story of the Greeks” or “Augustus Caesar’s World”. I’m sure what the other thread discusses would be helpful, but it would be tricky to implement. This way I can print the weekly overview and know if we are doing Spanish or Latin (or both) that day. I guess custom subjects could do the same thing, but this would involve less decision making for me, which is always a good thing.
For example, this is my eldest son’s day:
Beginner Reading
Foreign Language
Geography
History
Leisure Reading
Math
Music
ScienceI’d prefer it to be:
Dancing Bears
Henle Latin 1
Visual Latin
Greek Huppogrammon
Home Geography for the Primary Grades
Map Drawing
Story of the Greeks
Ben Hur
Augustus Caesar’s World
Rabbit Hill
MEP Year 7A
Mrs Stewart’s Piano
Archimedes and the Door to Science
It would probably be necessary to shorten some titles, but I would still know which books I needed. He also ended up with most of his history readings on the same days this term, so on the overview today looks deceptively short, when, in fact, “history” includes three separate books.
This is a good idea, too. I’d prefer having the assignment specified, but short of that having the resource listed instead of a broad subject would be a close 2nd in my mind. Just some way of having a view of the week by day and resource.
I’d be happy with just a few more options …. say American History, World History, French, Spanish, Latin, Plutarch, Hymn Study, Composer Study, Folksongs … and then maybe some option for those of us who use a spine or family time for a subject but also assign the children biographical or literature in that subject too.
For example: I do our Science lessons together as a family using a variety of resources which I’ll add daily, but I also assign each child a Science biography or living book. Currently it just shows in our overview as Science under everyone’s section. It’d be awesome to say “Science Literature” or “Science Biography”.
I would like to second what Amy said. Weekly schedule by resource would be extremely useful as opposed by subject as many of us use multiple resources that full under the same subject heading. If wanting to get specific and list assignments that would an extra, I would be thoroughly satisfied simply with resource titles and of course the ability to name our own subjects…. 🙂
