Shortcuts for Education

Hello,

I have been working on Shortcuts for education. I wanted to start a thread to see if anyone else has been creating Shortcuts. I created this Homework Shortcut:

Homework Reminder | Shortcuts | iOS

Please share any ideas that you have or any ideas that you would like to work on.

Super homework reminder! Makes finding homework easy. Thanks for the example.

I hope others jump in with Shortcuts. Here is another Shortcut posted in our Community that I found helpful: Accessibility in Education #29 - Accessibility Shortcut

I recently found the Shortcut to identify the last 10 or so contacts added to my phone helpful. I'm not the greatest at keeping up with personalized cards, so I prefer to put new contacts in my phone. However, I sometimes forget to include their organization/school when I save their contact info. Then when I go back weeks later to communicate with them, I can't remember their name!! Ugh!! Using a shortcut, however, I can identify the newest contacts on my phone and go back and add their details! Here are the steps:

Open Shortcuts -> New Shortcut ->Search "Contacts" -> Tap "Find Contacts" -> Sort by "Creation Date" -> For Order, choose "Latest First" -> Toggle on "Limit" and select how many you want to search -> At the bottom search bar for apps and actions, type "Show Results" and add it -> at the top, rename your shortcut....maybe something like "New Contacts" -> Tap "Done" in top right.

Thank you for starting this thread! I’m working with some folks about supporting students who identify as neurodivergent in higher education, and Shortcuts appears to have a great deal of potential for this group! We are looking for a definitive manual for creating shortcuts, does anyone have suggestions?
