THE BOARD

A table without edges

Every lesson gets room for sticky notes, links, videos, worksheets, and the half-formed ideas that come before a finished plan.

EVERYTHING ON THE TABLE

If it helps the lesson, it goes on the board

Planning doesn't start as a list. It starts as a pile: a half idea, a link somebody texted you, a page from last year's packet. The board is built for the pile.

Drop anything on, connect what belongs together, and label the threads. Cross-subject connections get their own glue lines — the moment fractions and pie-baking day become one plan.

Sticky noteshalf-thoughts, reminders, the thing you'd scribble on a napkin

Rich cardsfull documents with headings and tables

Linkspaste a URL, get the title and picture back automatically

Videosthe documentary clip, playable in place

SCRATCH SPACE, BY DESIGN

Boards are messy on purpose. The calendar stays clean.

Open a board for a real lesson, such as "Math · week 3 · comparing fractions," and Cotie starts with that lesson before it makes anything, so nothing duplicates what's already written. Nothing on the board touches your schedule until you place it: one click moves a worksheet or a research card off the board and onto the week it belongs to. The board even keeps count of what's still unplaced.

ON THE BOARD

Small things that make it feel right

CONNECTIONS

Linking ideas is forgiving

Join two ideas without having to aim perfectly. Add a label when the connection needs words.

UNDO

A hundred steps of courage

Undo and redo reach back a hundred steps, and a burst of typing counts as one. Rearrange the whole board and walk it back if the old way was better.

AUTOSAVE

Never hits a save button

The board saves itself as you think. Close the laptop mid-thought on Tuesday; Wednesday it's exactly where you left it.

SOUND

Quiet, satisfying cues

A soft sound confirms when a card lands or two ideas connect. Mute it anytime for quiet late-night planning.

DROP FILES

Drag a PDF straight on

That scanned activity packet? Drop the file anywhere on the board and it becomes a card. Images too.

MEMBERS

Read-only, not locked out

Member families can see the board without rearranging it. They can still ask Cotie questions about the plan.
