School days: Schoolhouse student organizer
More back to school application suggestions! This time, a full-featured assignment planner, organizer and grade tracker: Schoolhouse 2.1. Last noted by Dan in April, this powerful and graceful app helps keep students on track by monitoring assigments on the calendar and associating all sorts of metadata with the tasks. You can attach your notes or research materials, assign partners to collaborate on projects, or 'classcast' your work out via .Mac or FTP.Schoolhouse is donationware, and if you find it useful we strongly suggest sending a few bucks Logan's way.

I use a Mac, but just started teaching in a school with a Windows laptop program. I'd love to point my students to an app like Schoolhouse that they could think about using to stay organized.

The developer is frequently updating the app so now's the time to get in and suggest changes if you like it. I think it's a good app but it's cross platform (also has a Windows version) and as a result, it's not quite as "Mac-like" as it could be. But, as I said, the developer is great and very receptive to suggestions for improvement.
This app is amazing. just downloaded it today, a few bugs, but there is nothing else like it on the market. its really super duper cool!!! :)

(Right-click > Get Info > Open using Rosetta). I have no idea why it works, but it does, even though it's a bitslower than running it using its Universal/Intel architecture. Overall, a terrific program.
