Teacher's Organiser Software/App?

    I use eportal for attendance, my timetable is on an app on my phone and I would simply remember nothing without onscreen sticky notes and notemaking and reminder apps on my phone and Google calendar. However, I still have to lug my G&M organiser in a folder in and out of school and up and down the corridors, while often carting a laptop around too (though I do use Google Drive when accessing the class desktop)

    Does anyone know of a software package or online tool that will do all of this i.e. class lists, attendance, homework submitted and reminders? Maybe someone has come up with an Office-based system that will do this (though the idea of setting up a maze of Excel docs does not appeal to me.)

    What works for other teachers? I can't be the only one annoyed by this. Ideally, I would love to just carry a tablet and the odd copy around:o

    I'm trying an app called teacher kit. Seems to do a lot of what you are looking for, I find it great for seating plans too-just drag the chair round the screen. Also handy for homework excuses-you can export as an excel sheet for each student, invaluable at PT meetings

    Free online tool, looks quite useful and powerful.

    Apple only it seems. Pity.
