Keri T. found Mega Seating Plan:

• Significantly reduces teacher workload“Making seating charts is like playing 3-D chess. Mega Seating Plan lets me input information that pertains to student IEP/504 accommodations (i.e. front of the classroom) as well as who should and should not sit next to each other. It also has a function that lets students submit their preferences as well. But the teacher always has the ability to over-ride these preferences.”
• Significantly improves teaching efficiency“I teach in a co-teach environment. The ability to quickly identify students with an IEP/504 is important for both group making and to provided extra scaffolding. I can do this with colors.”
• Significantly improves school processes“Their program is intuitive, which makes it easy for new teachers to adapt. You can use some, most, or all of its features and the program will help in the classroom. I know this is just a seating chart- but there are other programs that have made making seating charts difficult. Mega Setting Plan is EASY.”
• Significantly improves behaviour or wellbeing“I can set parameters for who students should and should not be seated near. Once those are set, I don't need to refer to another document. We often have students that are on no-contact contracts- this helps me accomplish this requirement. As I get to know students better I can set parameters so that they are in the front, middle, or back of the classroom.”
