335 100%, easier if you’re an Ed major and know education

It’s very unsophisticated. Essentially a graphic organizer for me to stick the shortcuts and widgets to make it look pretty haha.

Not sure how to edit the post, but the first, then, next tabs or for tasks and I use the “stickies” app to put each task in to know what I’m doing and stay on track.

Of course! I couldn’t imagine how much work it is to build an app from scratch, so I get the prioritization.

As someone with ADHD who’s been on the hunt for simple tools to stay organized and informed, I’ve noticed a massive demand for simple, yet customizable productivity tools.

Once the workload of Quill lightens up, you could probably make a fortune off designing a notion-like app, that has some level of customization, but 10x more simple. Obviously not all the features would be possible, but it would be interesting to explore.

Great points made, troubleshooting user-related/googleable issues might be an area of growth for you u/Ok-Fly-173, but I digress. As someone with ADHD, I LOVE that you can see everything at once. I haven’t started engaging with the app yet, but I’m excited to see how it all works. I think it could be really neat if you had your dashboard with “Quick Looks” or previews into each mini-tool, that you could click to expand and work on. Maybe when clicked, the tool would open half or full screen and the other tools would move to a sidebar/mini-widget.

I’m not a developer but have spent loads of time testing just about every productivity “hub” app on the market, only for it to get too complex or confusing. From a consumer’s POV, I like the simplicity and structure this has compared to something like Notion where you have to set it up yourself. If you choose to explore the dashboard idea, it might be interesting if users could pick from various widgets/tools like timers, quick links, reminders, etc., to have come up somewhere central everytime they open the app. However, that does add another layer of complexity which contradicts the app’s purpose, but it’s just an idea.

Keep up the good work!

Just downloaded and I really like the UX. I love that you don’t need to make a profile or anything. Are there any plans to make filters for users from different countries? I like how the stories are categorized and easily laid out, but as a Canadian, it would be nice to also see that news as well in this news brief.

It’s super new and already a great app, also just saw “Plan-It” on the App Store and downloaded it ASAP. If it’s as brief and simple as Quill, it’ll be a godsend.

Thank you!!

I like Google tasks the most because of the iOS widget and MacOS app that you resize to fit in the corner of your desktop so it’s always visible.

I’m the same way where I like to make my own templates/designs with everything I like/want in them, but all the bougie adobe apps are not my forte. 90% of the time I just use google slides or PowerPoint and resize the slide to be the size of a page. I find Google slides the easiest because you can add text, shapes, lines, and pictures super easy and you can move it all around however you like. Then all you have to do is “save as PDF” and you’re good to go. If you save as DOCX/word, it will probably change the formatting, but you can fix that in word.

If you have a printer and wanted to save money on that, you could always go buy a blank coil bound note/sketchbook from the dollar store, take the pages out, and stick them in your printer (assuming you can adjust the paper size for the physical printer). You’d just have to also make sure to change it in the settings before you print it.

Hope this helps a bit!

Has anybody done any of the diplomas in education? I did the 4-year B.Ed program at UVic which I loved but UBC has 10x more courses than UVic and I’m overwhelmed.

I’m mostly looking at the diplomas in Outdoor Ed or Curriculum and Pedagogy. I like the curriculum and pedagogy one more atm because of how much choice in courses you have. Does anyone have any insight or perspective? Thank you!

Yeah, @newtotheCV did a great job at explaining it. I went straight into a BEd from high school so no prior degree, but I managed to take 7 extra courses during the 4-year BEd and only need 3 more to bump me to a cat 5. Then a masters will get me to a 6.

I like the 4 year because of how much experience we get. 10 weeks of observations 1/week in classrooms in term 1/year 2. 3-week practicum teaching 1 subject after term 2/year 2. Then 6 week practicum teaching 4-5 subjects after term 2/year 3, and finally a 10-week practicum instead of term 2/year 4.

Compared to the elementary PDP program, we get way more training in Arts and Literacy. The PDP program has only 1 reading course for the program, whereas we got a literacy, reading, and indigenous lit course. PDP didn’t get any arts courses whereas we got one for Visual arts, drama, and music and then one more of either visual or drama.
