Windows 7: To-do/organization program for student

lee3821 · 04 Feb 2011

I just completed my switch from my ancient MacBook to my nice new windows laptop, and I'm looking for an organizational program to help me keep track of homework assignments for school. On my mac, I was using Schoolhouse, but I can't seem to find a Windows 7 equivalent. Is there anything that will fill the same purpose, while still being usable and relatively cheap?

Thanks for any assistance,
Lee G.

If you have outlook you can use the calendar and tasks feature.

I, unfortunately, don't have Outlook. Is there anything that does that on its own, and does it well?

You may be able to use google docs, or Mozilla Thunderbird. I was never a good student so I never looked into software like that.

i've just come across this - student DOG organiser.

i'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, and i haven't tried the software out, but it may be worth a try.

Student DOG Organizer is an application to help students heading back to schools and is developed by David Capka, a recently graduated student to help other students. According to the developer, the idea is to help students keep different school-related activates in order.

Since the ‘Back To School’ session has already started, most students will find this all-in-one organizer immensely helpful since it helps in organizing school-specific tasks, such as, marking calendars for specific activities, keeping track of lessons and classes, adding contacts, writing notes, and much more.

The main interface is perfectly designed to suit a student’s needs, all the tasks with their respective details are shown in different groups. When starting for the first time, you need to enter the details of important tasks and activities. For instance, you can start out with populating provided Timetable. Along with subject/course name, you can specify teacher name, enter classroom number or name, and assign a unique color.

etc.

That look pretty nifty.

I've been using Mozilla Sunbird® and like it well enough. I'm tempted to see what the DOG can do for me, though.

Thanks, I'll take a look. Not sure if it's exactly what I'm looking for, but it looks as though it'll make a suitable substitute if I can't find a straight-out replacement.
