The image that immediately comes to mind when thinking of planning and preparing teaching lessons is of the kindly teacher, laboriously trudging through large amounts of paper and mapping out the direction of the upcoming lesson. Oh, hang on...that was a Dickens book i was reading. Well, its either that or you can update it to the 20th Century by imagining the same scenario with its modern day equivalent - Excel spreadsheets and Word documents. Now it's time to move on from those efficient but bad old days and move into the next generation of lesson planning. Common Core is ... Read more
There are some apps that are quite complicated and are packed with features - many of which you will never use, I might add - and then there are others that have a single purpose and get the job done. AvailabilityCalendar sits nicely in the latter basket. This simple to use app is one of those that you either want or don't want. If you want a calendar to pin on your website so people can check the availability of something you are renting out then it doesn't get a lot simpler or a lot better than this one. This ... Read more
I still find it quite amazing that so many businesses still use a pen and paper when booking appointments for customers - especially when there are online appointment schedule applications like BookerLooker available. Many will say its a costing problem and they can't afford it while others will say that they are too complicated to set up and maintain. So, how about if I said to you that I could find one that not only lets your customers book their appointments whenever they wanted and pick a time that suited both parties. And then how about if I told you ... Read more

I wonder how many of you know what's going on in terms of entertainment in your city tonight. You'll probably think you have a pretty good idea but it's actually fairly difficult to get a grip on the multitude of events that are happening every night in a major city unless you buy an evening newspaper, the local 'whats on' guide and then check a few local Internet sites.

One of the things that sets a good business apart from a great one is the organizational skills that they display. You may have the best product in the world but, if your management is not up to the level of others, your business will suffer. People don't like dealing with organizations that are not up to scratch. Your customer's first real contact with you is via the initial appointment and if you can't get that together then you may well be on a downward slide before you start. Bookappo is an online appointment booking application for businesses of all ... Read more
