Hi aussiele,
Could you be a bit more specific about where you're missing this?
Auto-Capitalization is set according to your iPad's defaults settings under (System)Settings / General / Keyboard

Hi,

Just wondering when you were planning on starting beta testing? Would love to be involved!

Hi DB,
The fist Beta tests began this saturday and we're working around the clock to get the official release ready long before September comes.
We have a very limited amount of available 'seats' for Beta testing, but feel free to contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with your device UDID (you can obtain it with app called UDID+ from) and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks

Hi, will you be adding an IPhone version of the app with the next update? I would find this very usefull when I don't have my iPad with me.

Looking forward to the new update, wish it was ready prior to the new academic year though!

Hi Simon,
The iPhone version isn't there yet. We delayed its release when the iPad mini appeared as it was a far better 'mobile option' than a cropped version for the iPhone. Lets see how this 3.0 works out, and if it proves successful we'll keep working on our roadmap.
Thanks

I am new to iDoceo and just starting to get the hang of it. Its an AWESOME app and I am recommending it to my other teachers. The one thing I would love to see is a separate place to record behavior. I've seen some apps that have a pop-up window or separate column with thumbs up/down/neutral symbol, date/time and then a place to write a description if necessary. As a music teacher with 600+ kids, it would be great to have a fast place to write down behavior situations.

The other thing that would be HUGE for me would be a way to actually add grades directly to the seating chart. I do a lot of fast observable type assessments while singing or playing music games... often I am just writing checkmarks on my paper seating charts to keep track of students who got it or are still working (EX: steadybeat). I use both a circle seating chart and rows seating chart. Currently if I want to add a checkmark or grade, I need to be in the "gradebook" view. It would be wonderful to actually be in the seating chart view and click on a student that would link to their name in the gradebook. Maybe too complicated? But it definitely would be a dream come true! I can imagine sitting in a circle playing a game and having my iPad in my lap with the seating chart and just tapping on student's pictures (similar to taking attendance).

Thanks again for all the hardwork. Its awesome!

I am also a music teacher and I have been looking for a program with the "grade from seating chart" functionality! Both assessment and behavior. As a music teacher, number of clicks is a big issue!

Welcome @Amber,@CAReynolds,
For behaviour, you can actually configure a custom editor, which is the fastest way to insert a small selection of icons (you'v got thumbs up and down) into a cell. I'll prepare an article explaining this custom editors soon.
Additionally if you tap&hold on any cell you'll be able to add annotations. Here an article explaining it in detail .

Regarding your other request about the seating plan, you can do that already! You'll be able to add columns and and grade students as if you were in the gradebook.
Here the article explaining it http://www.idoceo.net/index.php/en/component/content/article/10-instructions/158-the-seating-plan-main-features

Thanks, Bert. It got it to work, but it seems to take a few taps to get it to work for each student.

also, what I would really like is an option like "Attend All"', where you can set a default grade, give the button a name, such as "participation" which would populate the default grade for the entire class and then you only have to click on the few students who were exceptions.m. It would really speed up the process, particularly for those of us whi have to assess on the fly.

Hi CAReynolds,
It should be a double tap on a cell to begin editing, and just a single tap to select the right icons.
Regarding the 'populate' option you need, here a short video showing how to do it! Hope that helps.

Hi,

Any closer to the new release yet? The the term is next week and was hoping to get to grips with the new version before we start. Keep up the great work,

Thanks

Martyn

Thanks Bert, that sure makes it easier!

Hi,

Thank you for this app! I love it, and it is helping me stay more organized.

I'm a music teacher, so my needs might be a little different from a classroom teacher.

I'd like an place to work out my lesson plans by grade, rather than time block. My schedule has a different class for every block in my schedule, but I don't need a lesson plan for every block.

I'd like a separate place (that looks more like a plan book) to work out my lessons by grade level, and plan my school-wide concerts, activities and performances.

Thanks again, and keep up the great work!

Hi Bert,

Same as Martyn, just wondering if you have any updates on the new version? I know you are all working hard on it. Hoping we might have before pupils come back next week.

Thanks again for an already fantastic app.

Hello Nathan, everyone...
Our next update for iDoceo, its version 3.0 , will be available next week.
Can't be more specific about the date because it depends on Apple's final approval process, but they work 7 days a week just like us!

Hope you all like what's coming.
For the impatient ones... a screenshot

With the new release coming out, would it be best for a new user to wait for the new release to import student data? Also, is there a list of features planned for the new release that we can view?

Hi CAReynolds.
You'll find here a PRELIMINARY(!) and non-exhaustive list of new features in iDoceo 3.0 .

In regard to Importing student data, the new version will process the file similarly and it won't make any significant difference.
Importing student photos on the other hand has been further improved with options to import its in bulk, based on a student field criteria (i.e. name,id , or any other). Or by using face detection techniques on a single photo of your class.

This will make assigning/importing photos a breeze... and I dare to say ... fun.
Here a short video.

I sent this in a while ago hoping it would be included.
Multi person timer. One start for everyone. Individual finishes that are recorded. Tap their face when they finish
Great for quick exercises in math class or language. Could be helpful in the gym as well

individual counters would be great from the seating plan-to be recorded or not

This is a great program.

Thanks
John

Hi John,
Yes, that is still in our to-dos. We ran out of time for this one.
Work in progress

Love the uploading of photos will save so much time.
