The lesson prep form captures the moment when volunteers are first interacting with curriculum materials for a given lesson, so it’s a great time to point them to the curriculum feedback form.

Part of the lesson internalization process is to post a lesson plan on Slack. It would be great if the instructor could enter the plan right in the tool (responses to questions like “what will students find most challenging?”) and have that posted to Slack.

This would almost certainly involve using cloud functions one way or another—either to do hand-rolled Slack OAuth, or just to set up a Slack bot to do the posting.

It looks like Google Slides does have an API that would give us access to the structured contents of slides. We’d have to do things quite heuristically but it does seem pretty likely that we could extract the information we are looking for most of the time.

Volunteers should have easy access to lesson prep guidelines right from the lesson prep form.

Per feedback from Alex Pelan, some classes don't post the Do Now as a Classroom assignment at all (it's just a slide on the projector and students do it on paper)

It should be possible to set up the development environment with a single command—currently you have to manually create an .env file etc.

The tool currently contains basic support for projects, but lacks certain functionality. In particular, all lessons are assumed to span a single day, whereas projects can be multi-day. So we should be able to set the end date for a project, and have the due date of the assignment set accordingly.

In order to verify the application with google, we would need to add privacy and terms of service pages.

Right now if you reload the page you have to start the process over. Would be better to remember entries for some period of time—probably for as long as the Google auth session lasts.

The date picker currently always defaults to tomorrow, even if tomorrow is a weekend. Instead default to the next weekday.

The official workflow for adding materials to Google Classroom includes assigning all coursework to a topic. However, the Google Classroom API does not support topics at all.

Currently there is no way to correct a mistake once you have moved past a given step in the lesson planner. It should either be possible to go back, or we should re-work the planner to be presented as a single form rather than a “wizard” style interface.
