Less busywork. More teaching.
Free classroom tools that run on your own device. No account to make, no district sign-off to chase, and no server on the other end.
Two tools. Both free, both new, both built in a classroom.
The tools
Two, doing different jobs. Neither needs the other, and neither needs an account.
Planbook
Grades, attendance, and the outreach that follows.
Track grades and attendance, see the students who need you in both directions, and draft the message home — without sending your roster to another service.
BBStyler
Class pages worth reading, in Blackbaud-safe HTML.
Build bulletins, topics, and assignments out of reusable content blocks, then copy HTML built to survive Blackbaud's editor.
Planbook handles what piles up around the lesson
Grades, attendance, and the outreach that follows, kept close enough to act on.
BBStyler makes class pages easier to read
Compose once, preview the destination, and paste clean inline-styled HTML into Blackbaud.
What both tools have in common
Your work goes nowhere. That is the architecture, not a setting you have to go and find.
Not sure which one?
They do not overlap. Planbook is the record-keeping around your lessons — grades, attendance, the message home. BBStyler is what your students actually see — the class page, the assignment, the bulletin. Most teachers want one or the other, and taking both is no more setup than taking one, because neither has any setup.
Both tools are free. Nothing to buy, no trial, no upgrade.
Who makes this
Built by a classroom teacher, for their own 5 classes. These tools exist because something in the school day was taking longer than the thing it was meant to support — and the fix had to survive a bad-wifi, three-minutes-before-the-bell Tuesday.
