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.

Anyone know if there is an app like this for Windows? 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.

@Peter Leeman: Check out Planbook.

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.

I have experienced the crashing thing too. I emailed the developer a little while back to ask if any updates were on the way, but have yet to receive a reply.

I, too, experienced frequent crashing when I tried resizing the left sidebar, but somehow -- luckily -- it was all fixed when I began running the program in Rosetta. (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.

I used this for a bit, just stopped last week cause it's too buggy and crashes too often. I really did like it minus all those issues though. I changed to Task List which is pretty much the same thing but less crappy.
